Interrater Agreement and Combining Ratings

Some behaviors such as smiles require human raters for their measurement. A model of the rating process is explored that assumes that the probability distribution of overt rating responses depends on which of several underlying or latent responses occurred. The ideal of theoretically identical raters is considered and also departures from such identity. Methods for parameter estimation and asse...

Interrater Reliability and Agreement of Subjective Judgments

Indexes of interrater reliability and agreement are reviewed and suggestions are made regarding their use in counseling psychology research. The distinction between agreement and reliability is clarified and the relationships between these indexes and the level of measurement and type of replication are discussed. Indexes of interrater reliability appropriate for use with ordinal and interval s...

Interrater agreement for Critical Care EEG Terminology.

OBJECTIVE The interpretation of critical care electroencephalography (EEG) studies is challenging because of the presence of many periodic and rhythmic patterns of uncertain clinical significance. Defining the clinical significance of these patterns requires standardized terminology with high interrater agreement (IRA). We sought to evaluate IRA for the final, published American Clinical Neurop...
