On the generalization of the G index of agreement, Go, for use with ordinal scores

Abstract
Abstract.— Presents a G index generalization for items where each has a predetermined number of response alternatives on an ordinal level. Shows that Go is equal to the G index based on another set of dichotomous data. The problem that items with many response levels will be given more weight than those with few response levels is pointed out. An alternative index, G0e, which does not have such characteristics, is presented and also proves to be equal to the G index based on a set of equivalent dichotomies.
