Re: st: RE: Calculating a "disagrement scale" from several individuall assessments

[Steven Samuels <ssamuels@albany.edu>]

Kappa is one standard measure of disagreement among raters. A google  
search on "multiple raters" and "kappa" will turn up references which  
show that an intraclass correlation is equivalent to a generalized  
kappa statistic.  Then a search on "intraclass" and "stata"  will  
lead you to the appropriate stata command.
