Attribute gauge analysis is typically applied to compare agreement or lack thereof between two rating approaches to a problem. For example, two doctors may have differences of opinion on the causes of specific symptoms present in individual patients. How do we quantitatively measure the degree of agreement? In more complicated situations, attribute gauge analysis may be applied to compare agreement among multiple raters for multiple responses, including agreement to a standard. We describe a personal consulting case involving the use of drones flying in warehouses to read labels of stacked inventory shelves in place of manual efforts by humans. We illustrate the application of JMP’s attribute gauge analysis platform to provide graphical and quantitative assessments such as the Kappa statistic and effectiveness measures to analyze such data.
