Comparing Rates of Agreement
Exact Agreement – occurs when the human score is exactly the same as the corresponding engine score (e.g., human rating for Mechanics is 3 and Engine rating is 3).
Exact + Adjacent Agreement – occurs when the human score is exactly the same as the corresponding engine score or is equal to the engine score +/- one point. Similar to a margin of error estimate (e.g., human rating for Mechanics is 4 and Engine rating is 3, 4 or 5).
