Hello how is everybody, This is my first post here. I am wondering if I'm on the right track. Am doing an experiment in which I now have to work out inter and intraobserver error. From my reading sofar, it seems that this kappa value is the way to go. I need a way to compare the results (in the format of 'severe', 'moderate', 'mild', 'normal' etc...) from THREE raters (not TWO as most calculations that I have found are for)for a total of twenty cases. They are rating the amount of nerve fibre loss in a sample of twenty nerves. I will also have quantitative data for these nerves.
I'd appreciate any help with this, I've been looking for a while now. I also have no statistics background, having never studied this subject at uni so am having a pretty hard time getting my head around some of the literature on the topic. Thanks you, Adrian . . ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at: . http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ . =================================================================
