Quantify TCATA assessor replication

Description

Quantify TCATA assessor replication using city block distance

Usage

similarity.tcata.replication(this.assessor, other.assessors)

Arguments

this.assessor

TCATA data (given as an indicator matrix) for assessor of interest

other.assessors

TCATA data (given as an indicator matrix) for other assessors

Details

Similarity between one TCATA assessor and other assessors on the panel is quantified. The replication index can take on values between 0 and 1, which indicate complete dissimilarity (disagreement) and complete similarity (agreement), respectively.

Value

replication.index city block distance between this assessor and other assessors

  a1 <- rbind(rep(0, 7),
              rep(0, 7),
              c(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1),

              rep(1, 7),
              rep(1, 7))

  # Quantify similarity of assessor a1 to the other assessors
  similarity.tcata.replication(a1, rbind(a2, a3))
