Reliability of a Composite Scale
Calculates Cronbach's alpha and standardized alpha (lower bounds on reliability) for a composite (summated-rating) scale. Standardized alpha is for the sum of the standardized items. In addition, the function calculates alpha and standardized alpha for the scale with each item deleted in turn, and computes the correlation between each item and the sum of the other items.
