[R-sig-teaching] Cronbach's Alpha Values

[Steven Stoline]

Dear All:


I am using *alpha(data, **check.keys=TRUE) *to compute the Cronbach's
Alpha. I am using  *check.keys=TRUE*  to automatically reverse items.


*My question is: *how can I get the correlation tables (matrix) of the
reversed items as part of the R output.



thank you
steve
