Simple and extended percentage agreement

Simple and extended percentage agreement

Computes simple and extended percentage agreement among raters.

agree(ratings, tolerance=0)

Arguments

  • ratings: n*m matrix or dataframe, n subjects m raters.
  • tolerance: number of successive rating categories that should be regarded as rater agreement (see details).

Details

Missing data are omitted in a listwise way.

Using extended percentage agreement (tolerance!=0) is only possible for numerical values. If tolerance equals 1, for example, raters differing by one scale degree are interpreted as agreeing.

Returns

A list with class '"irrlist"' containing the following components: - $method: a character string describing the method applied for the computation of interrater reliability.

  • $subjects: the number of subjects examined.

  • $raters: the number of raters.

  • $irr.name: a character string specifying the name of the coefficient.

  • $value: coefficient of interrater reliability.
