rwg: an assessment of within-group interrater agreement

James, Lawrence R., Demaree, Robert G., Wolf, Gerrit·1993·Journal of Applied Psychology

Abstract

Schmidt and Hunter (1989) critiqued the within-group interrater reliability statistic (r wg ) described by James, Demaree, and Wolf (1984). Kozlowski and Hattrup (1992) responded to the Schmidt and Hunter critique and argued that r wg is a suitable index of interrater agreement. This article focuses on the interpretation of r wg as a measure of agreement among judges' ratings of a single target. A new derivation of r wg is given that underscores this interpretation

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
