Rater Reliability: A Maximum Likelihood Confirmatory Factor-Analytic Approach.

O'Grady, Kevin E.; Medoff, Deborah R.

Multivariate Behavioral Research, v26 n2 p363-87 Apr 1991

A procedure for evaluating a variety of rater reliability models is presented. A multivariate linear model is used to describe and assess a set of ratings. Parameters are represented in terms of a factor analytic model, and maximum likelihood methods test the model parameters. Illustrative examples are presented. (SLD)
