Abstract:
Measurements serve as the basis for evaluation in almost all scientific disciplines, especially in physical sciences, medical studies and health care. There has been substantial statistical literature in the last several decades on assessing agreement that encompasses both reliability and reproducibility. This presentation provides a review on assessing agreement with emphasis on intuitive understanding and insights into both controversies and appropriate applications of agreement indices. A special attention is paid to the agreement measure of the relative area under the coverage probability curve.
This event is co-sponsored by the Duke Department of Biostatistics and Bioinformatics and the Duke Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Research Design (BERD) Methods Core. It is being cross-promoted by the NC BERD Consortium, a collaboration of the CTSA-funded BERD cores at UNC-Chapel Hill, Wake Forest University School of Medicine, and Duke University School of Medicine.
