agree_coef: Agreement Coefficents

Description

agree_coef produces inter-rater reliability or "agreement coefficients" as described by Gwet.

Usage

agree_coef(
  wide = TRUE,
  col.names = NULL,
  measure,
  item,
  id,
  data,
  weighted = FALSE,
  conf.level = 0.95
)

Value

Returns single data frame of inter-rater reliability coefficients.

Arguments

wide: Logical value (TRUE or FALSE) indicating if data is in a "wide" format. Default is TRUE.
col.names: If wide is equal to TRUE then col.names is a list of the column names containing the measurements for reliability analysis.
measure: Name of column containing the measurement of interest.
item: Name of column containing the items. If this is an inter-rater reliability study then this would indicate the rater (e.g., rater1, rater2, rater3, etc).
id: Column with subject identifier.
data: Data frame with all data.
weighted: Logical value (TRUE or FALSE) indicating whether to weight the responses. If TRUE (default is FALSE) then quadratic weights are utilized. This option should be set to TRUE for ordinal or continuous responses.
conf.level: the confidence level required. Default is 95%.
