| Sintesi≠ | Ordinal McDonald's omega is a reliability coefficient designed for Likert-type and other ordinal rating scales. Unlike Cronbach's alpha, it bases its calculation on polychoric correlations among items — capturing the true latent relationships between ordinal responses — and uses factor-analytic loadings to estimate how much of the composite score variance is attributable to a common factor. | Item response theory models the probability that a respondent answers an item correctly (or endorses it) as a function of the respondent's latent trait level and the item's own statistical properties — difficulty, discrimination, and guessing. Unlike classical test theory, IRT places persons and items on the same scale, yielding measurement that is sample-independent for items and test-independent for persons. |
