can anyone give me an opinion I am trying to render interrater and intrarater kappa reliability scores with data derived from a content analysis procedure questions about SAS kappa Is it possible to derive a kappa interrater/intrarater reliability score from this content analysis protocol/procedure and 3 raters using SAS 6.10.2 ? Is a Cohen's kappa possible, accurate, or feasible, with SAS 6.10.2 Macintosh in trying to derive an interrater/intrarater reliability score ? The text/content from 70 research subjects' written responses is coded using a content analysis protocol/procedure with 60 (discrete) categories there are 3 independent raters /coders - 3 independent raters code the written response of each research subject (each research subjects' written response is coded 3 x ) - each category (D0 - H12) identifies a specific concept used to code each research subject's written response subject#1 subject#2--- subject#70 D0 D1 D2 | D 9 F0 F1 F 2 | | H 12 coding the text involves recording a code (D1) every time a particular category is identified in the text of the research subject's written response scoring a research subjects written response entails assigning a tally mark for each category coded and summing them up so that each cell (category and research subject) can have a (potentially) unlimited number of tally marks (whereas in practice none is over 15) depending on the nature of the written response Is it possible/feasible/accurate to derive a kappa interrater/intrarater reliability score with this content analysis protocol/procedure and 3 raters using SAS 6.10.2 ? -- Robert Kujda Purdue University Division of Art and Design - Department of Visual and Performing Arts Curriculum and Instruction CA-1 West Lafayette, IN 47907 765 494-3058 [EMAIL PROTECTED] have an Aesthetic Experience /\__/| (\ ____ \ , , \______ _ \\_/ __ = _ o= _____ o/ /o =========================================================================== This list is open to everyone.
