General Estimators for the Reliability of Qualitative Data.

Cooil, Bruce; Rust, Roland T.

Psychometrika, v60 n2 p199-220 Jun 1995

A proportional reduction in loss (PRL) measure for reliability of categorical data is explored for the situation in which each of "N" judges assigns a subject to one of "K" categories. Calculating a lower bound for reliability under more general conditions than had been proposed is demonstrated. (SLD)
