Subject | st: inter-rater agreement for multiple raters and continuous variables |
Date | Tue, 7 May 2013 16:52:20 -0700 |
Hello Statalisters, I am working with Stata 11.2 on a mac platform. I have a dataset of 47 patients, each with 106 variables. Each of these patient's charts was abstracted by 2 raters, of a pool of 3: EL, SH and RO. The data are in wide format, so that each observation looks something like this: ID/Sex_EL /Sex_ SH/Sex_RO/DOB_EL/DOB_SH/DOB_RO 1001/1/./1/11.8.1955/./11.8.1955 The outcomes of interest are scores on a 16-point symptom scale, and total drug dose in milligrams,10 outcomes in all, all continuous. I would like to calculate a measure of inter-rater agreement, focusing on the outcomes of interest. I understand that kappa works best with dichotomous outcomes, and "loneway" seems to be appropriate for 2 raters. I would like to perform some measure of intra-class correlation. Questions: (1) Is this the right approach? (2) What is the right analytic test? (3) Can I do it in wide or must I reshape? Happy to provide any further details that might help in solving my problem. Thanks for your consideration, Harrison Alter * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/faqs/resources/statalist-faq/ * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
