Rely command - ignore parts of the code

[Lotte (Utrecht University)]

Dear CLAN users,

I am trying to assess inter rater reliability, using RELY. I have a couple of codes, that exist of either 3 or 4 (sub)categories. The code looks like this: $RUIMTE:RSchOpenvr:rsuc:zns. I won't bore you with the translation. For reliability, I only want to check whether coders reliably coded the first two categories, so $RUIMTE:RSchOpenvr:*:*. -this is because the final two categories are less important. The first two however, coders should absolutely agree upon. But using the command rely +t%prf +c +d +s"$RUIMTE:RSchOpenvr:*:*" does not do the trick. CLAN still only will report a 100% match when all categories are exactly the same. Does anyone know whether this is possible at all? Of course, I can come up with a work-around, deleting the final categories in those transcripts that were coded by 2 coders, but I prefer using a CLAN Command. Thank you so much for your thoughts on this!

Kind regards, Lotte

Dear Lotte,

In theory at least you should be using the % wildcard instead of the * wildcard.  So, please try +s”$RUIMTE:RSchOpenvr:%:%   The percentage symbol tells CLAN to merge all categories together and treat them as the same.  The asterisk tells CLAN to look at the various categories, but to treat them as different.
