#' Brennan-Prediger (BP) agreement coefficient among multiple raters (2, 3, +)
#'
#' @description
#' Brennan-Prediger (BP) agreement coefficient for an arbitrary number of
#' raters (2, 3, +) when the input data represent the raw ratings reported for
#' each subject and each rater.
#'
#' @param data A data frame or tibble
#' @param ... Variable (column) names containing the ratings where each column
#' represents one rater and each row one subject.
#' @param weights is an optional parameter that is either a string variable or a
#' matrix. The string describes one of the predefined weights and must take
#' one of the values ("quadratic", "ordinal", "linear", "radical", "ratio",
#' "circular", "bipolar"). If this parameter is a matrix then it must be a
#' square matrix qxq where q is the number of possible categories where a
#' subject can be classified. If some of the q possible categories are not
#' used, then it is strongly advised to specify the complete list of possible
#' categories as a vector in parameter `categ`. Otherwise, only the categories
#' reported will be used.
#' @param categ An optional parameter representing all categories available to
#' raters during the experiment. This parameter may be useful if some
#' categories were not used by any rater in spite of being available to the
#' raters, they will still be used when calculating agreement coefficients. The
#' default value is NULL. In this case, only categories reported by the raters
#' are used in the calculations.
#' @param conf_lev The confidence level associated with the agreement
#' coefficient’s confidence interval. Default is 0.95.
#' @param N An optional parameter representing the total number of subjects in
#' the target subject population. Its default value is infinity, which for all
#' practical purposes assumes the target subject population to be very large
#' and will not require any finite-population correction when computing the
#' standard error.
#' @param test_value value to test the estimated AC against. Default is 0.
#' @param alternative a character string specifying the alternative hypothesis,
#' must be one of "two.sided" (default), "greater" or "less".

#' @description
#' Brennan-Prediger coefficient (see Brennan and Prediger(1981)) and its standard
#' error for multiple raters when input dataset is a nxq matrix representing the
#' distribution of raters by subject and by category. The input data "ratings"
#' is an nxq matrix showing the number of raters by subject and category. A
#' typical entry associated with a subject and a category, represents the number
#' of raters who classified the subject into the specified category. Exclude all
#' subjects that are not rated by any rater.
#'
#' @param distribution An \emph{nxq} matrix / data frame containing the distribution
#' of raters by subject and category. Each cell \emph{(i,k)} contains the
#' number of raters who classified subject \emph{i} into category \emph{k}. An n
#' x q agreement matrix representing the distribution of raters by subjects (n)
#' and category (q) (see `calc_agree_mat` to convert raw data to distribution).
#' @param weights is an optional parameter that is either a string variable or a

#' one of the values ("quadratic", "ordinal", "linear", "radical", "ratio",
