bhapkar: Bhapkar coefficient of concordance between raters

Description

Calculates the Bhapkar coefficient of concordance for two raters.

Usage

bhapkar(ratings)

Arguments

ratings
n*2 matrix or dataframe, n subjects 2 raters.

Value

  • A list with class "irrlist" containing the following components:
  • $methoda character string describing the method.
  • $subjectsthe number of data objects.
  • $ratersthe number of raters.
  • $irr.namethe name of the coefficient (Chisq).
  • $valuethe value of the coefficient.
  • $stat.namethe name and df of the test statistic.
  • $statisticthe value of the test statistic.
  • $p.valuethe probability of the test statistic.

Details

Missing data are omitted in a listwise way. The Bhapkar (1966) test is a more powerful alternative to the Stuart-Maxwell test. Both tests are asymptotically equivalent and will produce comparable chi-squared values when applied a large sample of rated objects.
