st: New package -holsti- on SSC

[astaudt@mail.uni-mannheim.de]

Thanks to Kit Baum, a new package -holsti- is now available for  
download from SSC. In Stata, use the -ssc- command to do this.

The -holsti- command computes the Holsti intercoder reliability  
coefficient either for all coders of one given variable or for  
selected coders. For more information, please see the description below.

Best wishes
Alexander

TITLE
      'HOLSTI': module to compute Holsti intercoder reliability coefficients

DESCRIPTION/AUTHOR(S)

       holsti calculates the Holsti intercoder reliability coefficient
      in order to assess coder reliability when doing media content
      analyses. The coefficient can be calculated either for one given
      variable or for different coders. Therefore, concordant and
      discordant codings between coders are computed. In addition to
      the reliability coefficient, holsti permits the creation of a
      variable counting the number of discordant codings for each
      observation, making it it easier to further analyze cases with
      many deviant codings.
