correlation
NOTE: Cohen's Kappa is a measure of reliability that is appropriate for items that are dichotomously scored. The Intraclass Correlation Coefficient is most appropriate for items with more than two categories. Special codes assigned to student responses including blank, off-task, and not-scorable were not included in the calculation of Cohen's Kappa or intraclass correlation.
