[R] Running Omega in R

[John Smith]

Hi,

I opened a question on stack overflow I’m hoping this mailing list can help with.
I have a dataset below (this is made up but produces the same error I am getting)

structure(list(Q1 = c(4, 5, 3, 5, 4, 5, 3, 5, 5, 5, 6,
3, 5, 4, 6, 5, 5, 6, 7, 4, 5, 5, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 3, 5, 4, 5, 5,
6, 6, 3, 6, 3, 4, 4, 4, 6, 5, 3, 2, 6, 6, 4, 5, 4, 3, 6, 4, 4,
5, 6, 2, 4, 3, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 5, 5, 6, 4, 6, 5, 5, 4, 5, 6, 6,
2, 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, 4, 6, 3, 3, 5, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 3, 6, 6, 6,
6, 5, 4, 3, 5), Q2 = c(7, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 6, 6, 7, 6, 5,
6, 5, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 5, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4, 4, 6, 2, 6, 5, 4, 6,
4, 6, 6, 6, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 6, 2, 6, 6, 5, 4,
6, 6, 4, 4, 7, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 5, 4, 6, 7, 5,
5, 5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 6, 7, 2, 6, 5, 7, 3, 5, 5, 3, 3, 3, 7, 4, 5,
6, 6, 6, 5, 7), Q3 = c(5, 4, 5, 6, 4, 4, 5, 4, 2, 6, 5,
5, 5, 5, 7, 5, 5, 6, 7, 6, 3, 6, 6, 6, 5, 6, 6, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5,
6, 6, 5, 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 4, 5, 5, 4,
3, 5, 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 4, 5, 5, 5, 6, 4, 5, 5, 7, 4, 5, 6, 6, 5,
5, 3, 3, 5, 4, 6, 5, 5, 1, 3, 5, 3, 2, 5, 4, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4, 6,
3, 6, 6, 6, 5), Q4 = c(6, 6, 4, 7, 4, 6, 7, 6, 7, 6, 6,
6, 5, 7, 7, 6, 6, 5, 7, 7, 6, 6, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6, 5, 6, 7, 5, 6,
7, 5, 4, 6, 4, 3, 6, 4, 6, 6, 6, 3, 5, 7, 5, 6, 4, 6, 7, 6, 7,
4, 6, 3, 5, 7, 5, 4, 6, 6, 4, 6, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 7, 7, 6, 6, 6,
5, 6, 6, 4, 5, 7, 6, 7, 3, 5, 6, 5, 6, 5, 5, 7, 7, 6, 6, 2, 7,
6, 6, 7, 7, 5)), .Names = c("Q1", "Q2", "Q3",
"Q4"), row.names = c(NA, 100L), class = "data.frame")


When i run Cronbach Alpha with R i get a result

psych::alpha(construct,
         na.rm = TRUE,
         title = 'myscale',
         n.iter = 1000)


When i run Omega using R i get the following error message

"Error in fac(r = r, nfactors = nfactors, n.obs = n.obs, rotate = rotate, : I am sorry: missing values (NAs) in the correlation matrix do not allow me to continue.
Please drop those variables and try again. In addition: There were 50 or more warnings (use warnings() to see the first 50)"

psych::omega(m = construct,
      nfactors = 1, fm = "pa", n.iter = 1000, p = 0.05,
      title = "Omega", plot = FALSE, n.obs = 100)

If I have the wrong mailing list, could you direct me to the appropriate one (I’m aware it might not be an R issue but more of a stats question)



Thank you for your time
