Intra Class Correlation Icc

The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) is a measure of reliability and homogeneity within groups. It describes how strongly units in the same group resemble each other compared to units in different groups. The ICC ranges from 0 to 1, with values closer to 1 indicating greater homogeneity within groups. It is calculated as the ratio of variance between groups to the total variance. Higher ICC values near 1 mean ratings from the same group are highly similar, while lower values near 0 mean ratings are not similar. Software like SPSS can be used to compute ICC using different models depending on study design.

INTRA CLASS CORRELATION (ICC)

INTRA CLASS CORRELATION (ICC)

 is a form of inferential statistic that can be used


when quantitative measurements are made on units that
are organized into groups.

 It describes how strongly units in the same group


resemble each other. While it is viewed as a type
of correlation, unlike most other correlation measures it
operates on data structured as groups, rather than data
structured as paired observations.
Interclass vs Intraclass Correlation Coefficients:

Defining a class?
 Class of variables are those variables that share a:
metric (scale), and variance
Height and weight are different classes of variables.
There is only 1 Interclass correlation coefficient – Pearson’s r.
When one is interested in the relationship between variables
of a common class, one uses an Intraclass Correlation
Coefficient.
An intraclass correlation (ICC) can be a useful
estimate of inter-rater reliability on quantitative data
because it is highly flexible.
A Pearson correlation can be a valid estimator
of interrater reliability, but only when you have
meaningful pairings between two and only two raters.
INTRACLASS CORRELATION ( ICC)

 This is sometimes called intracluster correlation


coefficient and tells how similar in the same
group or cluster are.
 It provides a measure of homogeneity within
the clusters.
 It ranges from 0-1 with values closer to 1
indicating greater homogeneity.
INTRACLASS CORRELATION ( ICC)

 ICC close to 1 indicates high similarity


between values from the same group

 ICC close to 0 means that the values


from the same group are not similar.

Calculating ICC is very complex by
hand.
Calculating ICC is usually done with
software and each program has its
own form.
INTRACLASS CORRELATION
COEFFICIENT

It is, as a general matter, the ratio of


two variances:

Variance due to rated subjects


ICC = --------------------------------------------------------------------
(Variance due to subjects + Variance due to Judges +
Residual Variance)

Click on the
CORRELATION
COEFFICIENT box to
select it.
Click on
the Model: drop
down menu, there
are three options.
If researchers do NOT have the
same raters rating every
observation, use the One-Way
Random model.

If researchers have the same raters


rating every observation and they
are using a sample of raters, use
the Two-Way Random model.

INTERPRETING RESULTS
Look in the INTRACLASS
CORRELATION COEFFICIENT
table, under the Intraclass
Correlation column.

The Single Measures value is used


when an individual rating is the level
of observation in the outcome.

The Average Measures value is used


when the average of several ratings is
the level of observation in the outcome.

 ICC close to 1 indicates high similarity


between values from the same group

 ICC close to 0 means that the values


from the same group are not similar.
INTERPRETING RESULTS
ICC close to 1 indicates
high similarity between
values from the same
group
