Multiple responses/variables in marco magree

rola13 — Fri, 19 Feb 2021 11:31:49 GMT

Hi there,

I successfully followed this description for calculating a multiple rater Fleiss kappa value: https://support.sas.com/kb/25/006.html

My question now: is it possible to have more than one collumn with variables?

Collumns x,y,z instead of only y?

In the data I would like to process the subjects (s) were observed by the raters (r) 1 to 5 not only in one category "y" but severeal more (category "x" and "z").

Do I have to enter the data for each category individually? Or is there a way of calculating the Fleiss kappa per category in one go?

My individual code loks like this:

      data ratings;
        do s=1 to 1122;
        do r=1 to 3;
          input y;
output;
        end; end;
        datalines;
0
1
etc.
1
1
;
	  %inc "C:--------\magree.sas";
	  %magree(data=ratings, items=s, raters=r, response=y,	stat=nominal, options=counts)

Thank you!

Since the documentation speaks about a response variable (singular), it would appear that you will have to run the macro several times, one time for each response. Then you could merge the results into a single table if you want.

Oh, I will be busy for a while copying in 75 response variable collumns 😅 Thank you anyway for your answer!

You may want to search this forum and the documentation for the SAS Call Execute function. You can place information, such as variable names into a data set and create syntax using that function to call the macro once for each variable and providing other parameters as needed.

Did you even try it with more than one response variable? Sometimes the documentation can be wrong.

Yes I treid but it results in a lot of errors.
