Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) measures how much quantitative values are similar or associated within groups. There exist several versions and alternative formulations of ICC. The correlation is used to assess a dataset clusteredness, agreement among raters and in other settings.

ICC as expected correlation between two randomly drawn units that are in the same group

@Wolfgang already gave a great answer. I want to expand on it a little to show that you can also arrive at the estimated ICC of 0.75 in his example dataset by literally implementing the intuitive algo …

Intraclass Correlation Coefficient in mixed model with random slopes

Basically there's no single number or estimate that can summarize the degree of clustering in a random slopes model. The intra-class correlation (ICC) can only be written as a simple proportion of va …

How to partition the variance explained at group level and at individual level?

Yes, there is a consensus: you should use the variances, not the standard deviations, in computing the intra-class correlation (ICC). The two-level random-intercept-only model is $$ y_{ij} = \beta_0 …

Low intraclass correlation although between variance is very high in random effects model

The relative size of between-cluster variance vs. within-cluster variance on your independent variables is totally irrelevant for the intra-class correlation. You only need to consider the variance of …

Computing repeatability of effects from an lmer model

I think I can answer your questions at least concerning the unadjusted repeatability estimates, i.e., the classical intra-class correlations (ICCs). As for the "adjusted" repeatability estimates, I sk …

Which ICC estimator to use under the fixed effects model?

What is an accepted estimator for the ICC under the fixed efects model? I am searching the literature but cannot seem to find it. That's probably because there's not much to say about the ICC in a s …

First of all, yes, the design consists of 5 facets and not 3. The rule about which interactions can or cannot be estimated in a design that involves nesting is the following: all combinations of fact …

The short answer is that your conjecture is true when and only when there is a positive intra-class correlation in the data. Empirically speaking, most clustered datasets most of the time show a posit …

Big disagreement in the slope estimate when groups are treated as random vs. fixed in a mixe...

There are several things going on here. These are interesting issues, but it will take a fair amount of time/space to explain it all. First of all, this all becomes a lot easier to understand if we p …
