The third edition of this book was very well received by researchers working in many
different fields of research. The use of that text also gave these researchers the opportunity …

Medical data and biomedical studies are often imbalanced with a majority of observations
coming from healthy or normal subjects. In the presence of such imbalances, agreement …

Abstract Background The Bland-Altman plot with the limits of agreement has been widely
used as an absolute index for assessing test-retest reliability or reproducibility between two …

Chance‐corrected measures of agreement are prone to exhibit paradoxical and counter‐
intuitive results when used as measures of reliability. It is demonstrated that these problems …

Assessment of agreement between two or more methods of measurement is of considerable
importance in many areas. In particular, in medicine, new methods or devices that are …

The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) has been traditionally used for assessing
reliability between multiple observers for data with or without replications. Definitions of …

We investigate the properties of a measure of interrater agreement originally proposed by
Rogot and Goldberg. 1 Unlike commonly used measures, this measure not only adjusts for …

The degree of inter‐rater agreement is usually assessed through κ‐type coefficients and the
extent of agreement is then characterized by comparing the value of the adopted coefficient …

Agreement analysis is conducted to assess reliability among rating results performed
repeatedly on the same subjects by one or more raters. The kappa statistic is commonly …
