Abstract

maxwell computes Maxwell's random error (RE) coefficient of agreement between 2 raters on a binary variable (Maxwell 1977). The RE coefficient measures the excess of agreement over disagreement between two raters. It is attractive because of the weak assumptions in its derivation: doubtful cases are resolved in a truly random way without reference to prior probabilities of incidence, and allowance is made for the possibility that “a”, the probability of agreement between raters, may differ from cases in which an outcome is positive to those in which it is negative (Maxwell 1977). maxwelli is the immediate form of maxwell; see immed.
