Don't post in html, the list scrambles your tables. Assuming your data looks like this
> rater.id <- c(1, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3) > observation <- c(1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3) > rating <- c(6, 7, 4, 6, 2, 4) > dat <- data.frame(rbind(rater.id, observation, rating)) > dat X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 rater.id 1 2 1 3 2 3 observation 1 1 2 2 3 3 rating 6 7 4 6 2 4 We need to transpose the data and then use xtabs(). This will work as long as there is not more than one rating on an observation by the same rater: > t(dat) rater.id observation rating X1 1 1 6 X2 2 1 7 X3 1 2 4 X4 3 2 6 X5 2 3 2 X6 3 3 4 > tbl <- xtabs(rating~observation+rater.id, t(dat)) > tbl rater.id observation 1 2 3 1 6 7 0 2 4 0 6 3 0 2 4 If the 0's are a problem: > tbl[tbl==0] <- NA > print(tbl, na.print=NA) rater.id observation 1 2 3 1 6 7 <NA> 2 4 <NA> 6 3 <NA> 2 4 David L.

I plan to use the irr package to calculate the ICC, however, my dataframe is not organized in a way that the icc() function can handle. The icc() function works with dataframes in the following format: rater1 rater2 rater3... observation 1 6 7 NA 2 4 NA 6 3 NA 2 4 ... My dataframe is organized in the following format: rater.id 1 2 1 3 2 3 ... observation 1 1 2 2 3 3 ... rating 6 7 4 6 2 4 ... I would like to reformat my dataframe as it is organized in the first example but I am not sure how to go about doing this. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Kind regards, Chad -- Chad M.
