Hello, I am trying to use your online calculator for my dissertation – I have a qualitative study with 17 categories, 6 subjects and 2 raters. But every time I try to enter the data and press calculate – I get different error messages. Any way you can help me figure out what I’m doing wrong? I’d greatly appreciate it! Thank you! Shivani
I tried out a hypothetical data set with those parameters and it
seemed to work. Be sure that all of the rows sum to 2, because that’s
how many raters you have. ‘m assuming that raters can only assign one
category to each case. Also be sure that all of the empty cells have
a zero in them. Don’t leave any cells blank. If that doesn’t work, let
me know what the error is and post your dataset and I’ll see if I can
figure out what’s happening.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE ON LINE CALCULATOR. BY THE WAY AM WRITING FROM NIGERIA WEST AFRICA.
EACH TIME I OPEN THE WEB PAGE OF THE CALCUTOR, I CAN ONLY SEE THE INSTRUCTIONS BUT THE TABLE NEVER APPEARS FOR ME TO LOAD DATA. I’VE SPENT SEVERAL HOUR TRYING BUT SAME RESULT.
I just checked and it is working from two of my computers. You need to have the latest version of java installed to get the calculator to work in your browser. If you already have Java, try to uninstall it and reinstall it. That has worked for others who have had the same problem. If worse comes to worse, you might have to use the calculator from a different computer.
