rater

CRAN_Status_Badge R-CMD-check Coverage status pkgdown

rater provides tools for fitting and interrogating statistical models of repeated categorical rating data. The package provides a simple interface to fit a selection of these models, with arbitrary prior parameters, using MCMC and optimisation provided by Stan. A selection of functions are also provided to plot parts of these models and extract key parameters.

Example usage:

library(rater)

fit <- rater(anesthesia, "dawid_skene") # Sampling output suppressed.

Get the posterior mean of the “pi” parameter.

point_estimate(fit, "pi")
## $pi
## [1] 0.37559632 0.40734481 0.14321934 0.07383953

Plot the accuracy matrices of the raters.

plot(fit, "raters")
