A Visual Description of Multicollinearity

by Karen Grace-Martin 2 Comments

Multicollinearity is one of those terms in statistics that is often defined in one of two ways:

1. Very mathematical terms that make no sense — I mean, what is a linear combination anyway?

2. Completely oversimplified in order to avoid the mathematical terms — it’s a high correlation, right?

So what is it really? In English?

Member Training: Inter-Rater Reliability

by guest contributer Leave a Comment

In many fields, the only way to measure a construct of interest is to have someone produce ratings:

  • radiologists’ ratings of disease presence or absence on an X-ray
  • researchers rate the amount of bullying occurring in an observed classroom
  • coders sort qualitative responses into different response categories

It’s well established in research that multiple raters need to rate the same stimuli to ensure ratings are accurate.  There are a number of ways to measure the agreement among raters using measures of reliability. These differ depending on a host of details, including: the number of raters; whether ratings are nominal, ordinal, or numerical; and whether one rating can be considered a “Gold Standard.”

In this webinar, we will discuss these and other issues in measures of inter and intra rater reliability, the many variations of the Kappa statistic, and Intraclass correlations.


Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
