Identifying Points Of Agreement Between Two Groups
However, we believe that the Gleason score is an ordinal variable, weighted kappa might have been a more appropriate choice Contractual guarantees are less important terms and are not fundamental to the agreement. They cannot terminate a contract if the guarantees are not fulfilled, but they can possibly claim compensation for the losses suffered. A contract of enterprise is a legally binding agreement between two or more persons or entities. It is often interesting to know whether measurements made by two (sometimes more than two) different observers or by two different techniques give similar results. This is called concordance or concordance or reproducibility between measurements. Such an analysis considers the pairs of measurements, either categorical or both numerically, each pair having been made on an individual (or a pathology slide or an X-ray). On the surface, these data seem to be analytical with methods for 2 × 2 tables (if the variable is categorical) or correlation (if numerical) that we discussed earlier in this series. [1,2] However, a closer look would show that this is not true. In these methods, the two measurements performed on each individual refer to different variables (e.g.B.
exposure and outcome, or height and weight, etc.), while both measurements in compliance studies relate to the same variable (e.g. B X-rays of the rib cage evaluated by two radiologists or haemoglobin measured by two methods). Concordance between measures refers to the degree of agreement between two (or more) sets of measures. Statistical methods used to verify compliance are used to assess variability between assessors or to decide whether one technique for measuring one variable can replace another. . .
