RAI: Raw Agreement Indices

In obs.agree: An R package to assess agreement between observers.

Description

Calculates the proportion of overall and specific agreement.

Usage

RAI(x, conf.levels = 0.95)

Arguments

x	n*m matrix with n subjects and m observers. If the observer number differ for each subject missing values should be represented by the NA symbol.
conf.levels	confidence level of the interval.Must be a single number between 0 and 1.

Details

The proportions of overall agreement indicates the number of cases in which raters agree exactly, relative to the total number of observations. The proportions of specific agreement calculates observed agreement relative to each rating category individually.

A more detail description of the case of agreement between two raters on dichotomous ratings is presented in (Fleiss,J.L.,2003). The generalized case used is presented by John Uebersax (Uebersax, J., 2009)

Value

Subjects	number of subjects.
Observers	maximum number of observers.
Overall_agreement	the overall proportion of agreement coefficient and the respective confidence interval.
Categories	the categories.
Specific_agreement	the coefficient of proportion of agreement specific to each category and the respectives confidence interval.
