Bayesian Joint Modeling of Interrater and Intrarater Reliability with Multilevel Data (2407.12700v1)

Abstract: We formulate three generalized Bayesian models for analyzing interrater and intrarater reliability in the presence of multilevel data. Stan implementations of these models provide new estimates of interrater and intrarater reliability. We also derive formulas for calculating marginal correlations under each of the three models. Comparisons of the kappa estimates and marginal correlations across the different models are presented from two real-world datasets. Simulations demonstrate properties of the different measures of agreement under different model assumptions.
