Abstract
The degree of agreement between two raters
who rate a number of objects on a certain
characteristic can be expressed by means of an
association coefficient (e.g., the product-moment
correlation). A large number of association coefficients
have been proposed, many of which belong
to the class of Euclidean coefficients (ECs). A
discussion of desirable properties of ECs
demonstrates how the identity coefficient and its
generalizations, which constitute a family of ECs,
can be used to assess interrater agreement. This
family of ECs contains coefficients for both
nominal and non-nominal (ordinal and metric)
data. In particular, it is pointed out which information
contained in the data is accounted for by
the various coefficients and which information is
ignored. Index terms: association coefficients, correlation,
Euclidean coefficients, generalized identity
coefficients, interrater agreement.
