Robustness of Inter-Rater Reliability Estimators to Rater Leniency/Severity Effects In An Absolute Decision Setting - A Monte Carlo Study of Performance Ratings
<p>Inter-rater reliability coefficients are often reported in performance assessment as a measure of rating quality. Rater effects, as a systematic error in rating, may change the decision made about an examinee when an absolute interpretation of scores, such as a pass/fail decision, is used. …

The Effect of Concussion History on an On-Field Assessment of Cognitive-Motor Integration in Male and Female Varsity Athletes: Reliability of the HurtSHynes™ Test
… HurtSHynes™ Test demonstrated excellent inter-rater reliability (ICC > 0.90) and good-to-excellent intra-rater reliability (ICC > 0.75). We suggest this measure may be useful as a quick and objective measure to assist in guiding return-to-play decisions.
