Methodological analysis demonstrates a new mathematical derivation of rwg in single-target evaluations, highlighting its validity as an index of within-group interrater agreement.

Key Points

To clarify the conceptual and mathematical foundation of the rwg statistic as an index of within-group interrater agreement for ratings of a single target.
Examined prior methodological debates concerning whether rwg reflects interrater reliability or interrater agreement.
Developed a new mathematical derivation of rwg grounded in the assessment of consensus among judges rating a single target.
Confirmed that rwg functions conceptually and mathematically as an index of within-group agreement rather than classic interrater reliability.
Established through formal derivation that rwg directly models consensus among judges evaluating an isolated target.
