agrmt - Calculate Concentration and Dispersion in Ordered Rating Scales
Calculates concentration and dispersion in ordered rating
scales. It implements various measures of concentration and
dispersion to describe what researchers variably call
agreement, concentration, consensus, dispersion, or
polarization among respondents in ordered data. It also
implements other related measures to classify distributions. In
addition to a generic city-block based concentration measure
and a generic dispersion measure, the package implements
various measures, including van der Eijk's (2001) <DOI:
10.1023/A:1010374114305> measure of agreement A, measures of
concentration by Leik, Tatsle and Wierman, Blair and Lacy,
Kvalseth, Berry and Mielke, Reardon, and Garcia-Montalvo and
Reynal-Querol. Furthermore, the package provides an
implementation of Galtungs AJUS-system to classify
distributions, as well as a function to identify the position
of multiple modes.
