And look into some metrics we may want to implement. Consider Shaffer's RhoR and some of his critiques of inter-rater agreement practices.

After reading [1], I propose that we implement Kappa, J, Precision, Recall, and F statistics. They're quite straightforward to implement. I also think we should implement Shaffer's rho, which is described in Quantitative Ethnography (I have a copy in my office).

Let's start with kappa, and leave the rest as enhancements.

I think we should use this paper as the methodological basis for implementing agreement:
