Example 11: Unstacking Data in Attribute Agreement Analysis
This example illustrates Attribute Agreement Analysis for an unstacked data set. Note that Example 6 illustrates Attribute Agreement Analysis for a stacked data set.
- Data set
- AttributeAgreement.sta and AttributeAgreement-Unstacked.sta both contain similar data. A company is training five new appraisers for the written portion of a standardized essay test. The ability of the appraiser to rate essays relative to standards needs to be assessed. Fifteen essays were rated by each appraiser on a five point scale (-2,-1, 0, 1, 2).
Stacked data set AttributeAgreement.sta contains four columns: Appraiser, Sample, Rating, and Attribute. Unstacked data set AttributeAgreement-Unstacked.sta contains eight columns: Sample, Appraiser 1 Trail 1, Appraiser 2 Trail 1, Appraiser 3 Trail 1, Appraiser 4 Trail 1, Appraiser 5 Trail 1, Attribute, and Appraiser.
For this unstacking example, open data file AttributeAgreement-Unstacked.sta via the File - Open Examples menu; it is in the Datasets folder.
