General help understanding interrater-agreement command "rwg"

[Thomas Stiles]

Hi,

Stata novice. Would like to get an interrater reliability stat Rwg for teams. Loaded rwg module, but can't discern exactly how to use. Some help with understanding long form, tsset, what is meant by items and judges, suggestions for code would be greatly appreciated. Below I provide text/link to help doc, and what the data looks like. Thanks in advance! Thomas

from the help doc:
The program requires data in "long" format with panel setup (tsset). The program makes use of panel ids to identify raters and ratees, therefore, it is very important to correctly specify items and judges in panel setup.


Examples:
----------
tsset items judges

rwg x, scale(7) model(1)
rwg x, scale(9) model(1)

rwg x, scale(7) model(2)
rwg x, scale(9) model(2)

There's a lot more variables, but overall the data is looking like this at the moment. ID4 are groups, TEC1-TEM3 are response items, 1-7 point likert scale. TEindiv is global mean, TEteam aggregate mean.

ID4 TEC1 TEC2 TEC3 TEM1 TEM2 TEM3 TEindiv TEteam
273 6 7 7 6 6 6 5.33 5.82
274 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4.49

274 3 6 3 6 6 5 4.07 4.49

Thomas:
welcome to the list.
As per FAQ, please specify where you got the user-written programme -rwg- from (net describe rwg, from(http://fmwww.bc.edu/RePEc/bocode/r).
Your question is probably too broad to receive attention and get helpful replies: please, see the FAQ about how to post more effectively.
Anyway, some hints are feasible:
- wide vs long format: see -help reshape- and related entry in Stata .pdf manual;
- time-series declaration: see -help tsset- and related entry in Stata .pdf manual.
Please consider devoting some of your time to learn how Stata works: again. Stata .pdf manual is a very good place to start.
