| Abstract: | The τb and y statistics are interpreted as rank-monotonic coefficients of partial agreement. Using a method of transposition employed by Pearson's ri intraclass correlation coefficient, the τbi and yi intraclass coefficients of total monotonic agreement are created. Transpositional measures of agreement like τbi and τi measure the combined effects of cell and marginal disagreement which make them particularly suitable for reliability studies. The coefficients are also made applicable to K > 2 sets of ranks. |
