icc2.inter.fn: Intraclass Correlation Coefficients ICC(2,1) & ICCa(2,1)...

In irrICC: Intraclass Correlations for Quantifying Inter-Rater Reliability

Description

This functions computes 2 ICC estimates for the inter-rater reliability and intra-rater reliability coefficients. It requires some subjects to have multiple ratings and assumes the ANOVA model was specified with interaction.

Usage

icc2.inter.fn(ratings)

Arguments

ratings

This is a data frame containing 3 columns or more. The first column contains subject numbers (some duplicates are expected, as some subject are assumed to have assigned multiple ratings) and each of the remaining columns is associated with a particular rater and contains its numeric ratings.

Value

This function returns a list containing the following 12 values: 1. sig2s: the subject variance component. 2.sig2r: the rater variance component 3. sig2e: the error variance component. 4. sig2sr: the subject-rater interaction variance component. 5. icc2r: ICC as a measure of inter-rater relliability. 6. icc2a: ICC as a measure of intra-rater reliability. 7. n: the number of subjects. 8. r: the number of raters. 9. max.rep: the maximum number of ratings per subject. 10. min.rep: the minimum number of ratings per subjects. 11. M: the total number of ratings for all subjects and raters. 12. ov.mean: the overall mean rating.

Examples

#iccdata1 is a small dataset that comes with the package. Use it as follows:
library(irrICC)
iccdata1 #see what the iccdata1 dataset looks like
icc2.inter.fn(iccdata1)
coeff <- icc2.inter.fn(iccdata1)$icc2r #this only gives you the ICC coefficient
coeff
