A Note on the Unbiased Estimation of the Intraclass Correlation.

Donoghue, John R.; Collins, Linda M.

Psychometrika, v55 n1 p159-64 Mar 1990

I. Olkin and J. W. Pratt (1958) derived the minimum variance unbiased estimator of intraclass correlation, but use of the estimator has been impeded by lack of a closed form solution. The unbiased estimator is reviewed, and a FORTRAN-77 subroutine (UNBIAS) is proposed to calculate the estimator. (SLD)
