R package sklarsomega provides tools for measuring agreement using Sklar's omega coefficient, which subsumes Krippendorff's alpha coefficient, which in turn subsumes a number of other well-known agreement coefficients. The package permits…
In this article I recommend a better point estimator for Krippendorff's Alpha agreement coefficient, and develop a jackknife variance estimator that leads to much better interval estimation than does the customary bootstrap procedure or an…
In recent years, the research on empirical software engineering that uses qualitative data analysis (e.g., cases studies, interview surveys, and grounded theory studies) is increasing. However, most of this research does not deep into the…
The statistical measurement of agreement is important in a number of fields, e.g., content analysis, education, computational linguistics, biomedical imaging. We propose Sklar's Omega, a Gaussian copula-based framework for measuring…
We assessed several agreement coefficients applied in 2x2 contingency tables, which are commonly applied in research due to dicotomization by the conditions of the subjects (e.g., male or female) or by conveniency of the classification…
Assessing agreement between two instruments is crucial in clinical studies to evaluate the similarity between two methods measuring the same subjects. This paper introduces a novel coefficient, termed rho1, to measure agreement between…
A generalization of the classical concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) is considered under a three-level design where multiple raters rate every subject over time, and each rater is rating every subject multiple times at each measuring…
Inter-Rater quantifies the reliability between multiple raters who evaluate a group of subjects. It calculates the group quantity, Fleiss kappa, and it improves on existing software by keeping information about each user and quantifying how…
This is the first of two papers describing the process of fitting experimental data under interval uncertainty. Here I present the methodology, designed from the very beginning as an interval-oriented tool, meant to replace to the large…
The interAdapt R package is designed to be used by statisticians and clinical investigators to plan randomized trials. It can be used to determine if certain adaptive designs offer tangible benefits compared to standard designs, in the…
The need to measure the degree of agreement among R raters who independently classify n subjects within K nominal categories is frequent in many scientific areas. The most popular measures are Cohen's kappa (R = 2), Fleiss' kappa, Conger's…
We propose an information-theoretic alternative to the popular Cronbach alpha coefficient of reliability. Particularly suitable for contexts in which instruments are scored on a strictly nonnumeric scale, our proposed index is based on…
Measurement of the interrater agreement (IRA) is critical in various disciplines. To correct for potential confounding chance agreement in IRA, Cohen's kappa and many other methods have been proposed. However, owing to the varied strategies…
Background. The bootComb R package allows researchers to derive confidence intervals with correct target coverage for arbitrary combinations of arbitrary numbers of independently estimated parameters. Previous versions (< 1.1.0) of bootComb…
Measurement error and missing data in variables used in statistical models are common, and can at worst lead to serious biases in analyses if they are ignored. Yet, these problems are often not dealt with adequately, presumably in part…
The R package BNSP provides a unified framework for semiparametric location-scale regression and stochastic search variable selection. The statistical methodology that the package is built upon utilizes basis function expansions to…
Hyperspectral remote sensing is a promising tool for a variety of applications including ecology, geology, analytical chemistry and medical research. This article presents the new \hsdar package for R statistical software, which performs a…
In this paper, we investigate the (in)-consistency of different bootstrap methods for constructing confidence intervals in the class of estimators that converge at rate $n^{1/3}$. The Grenander estimator, the nonparametric maximum…
A new method for combining several initial estimators of the regression function is introduced. Instead of building a linear or convex optimized combination over a collection of basic estimators $r_1,\dots,r_M$, we use them as a collective…
To measure the degree of agreement between two observers that independently classify $n$ subjects within $K$ categories, it is common to use different kappa type coefficients, the most common of which is the $\kappa_C$ coefficient (Cohen's…
