View source: R/gwet_agree.coeff3.raw.r

Description

Computes Krippendorff's alpha coefficient and standard error for multiple raters when data is an n x r matrix of alphanumeric ratings from n subjects and r raters, excluding all subjects that are not rated by any rater.

Usage

1
2
krippen.alpha.raw(ratings, weights = "unweighted", conflev = 0.95,
  N = Inf, print = TRUE)

Arguments

ratings

an n x r matrix of raw alphanumeric ratings from n subjects and r raters

weights

optional weighting; see details

conflev

confidence level

N

used as denominator in finite population correction

print

logical; if TRUE, prints a summary of the agreement

Details

weight is an option matrix of weights or one of "quadratic", "linear", "ordinal", "radical", "ratio", "circular", "bipolar", or "unweighted" for an identity matrix.

The algorithm used to compute Krippendorff's alpha is very different from anything that was published on this topic. Instead, it follows the equations presented by K. Gwet (2010).
