similar to: Function to compute multi-response, multi-rater kappa?

I'm looking for an extension of kappa to measure agreement among multiple raters when there can be more than one response per subject. For example, say a group of doctors assign diseases to patients. Each patient will be assigned one to many diseases, and the number of doctors assigning diseases to any one patient will be two to many. Here's an extremely simple example of the type of

Is there a function that calculates the inter-rater agreement index (kappa) in R? Thanks ../Murli [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All, I am using fleiss kappa for inter rater agreement. Are there any know issues with Fleiss kappa calculation in R? Even when I supply mock data with total agreement among the raters I do not get a kappa value of 1. instead I am getting negative values. I am using the irr package version 0.70 Any help is much appreciated. Thanks and Regards M [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi All: Could anyone point me to a package that can calculate stratified kappa? My design is like this, 4 raters, 30 types of diagnosis scores, 20 patients. Each rater will rate each patient for each type of diagnosis score. The rater's value is nominal. I know I can measure the agreement between raters for each type of diagnosis score, e.g., calculate out 30 kappa values. My problem is I

Hello, I have 50 raters and 180 cases which are rated as malignant, probably malignant, probably benign, and benign. I want to compare all the raters but I want a weighted kappa to penalize differences between malignant and benign more than differences between malignant and probably malignant. I only found the weighted option in the 2-rater functions (kappa2, wkappa, cohen.kappa). The

Dear R-colleagues, I am quite a newbie to R fighting my stupidity to solve a probably quite simple problem of generating artificial data with defined features. I am conducting a study of inter-observer-agreement in child-bronchoscopy. One of the most important measures is Kappa according to Fleiss, which is very comfortable available in R through the irr-package. Unfortunately medical doctors

Hello, I?m looking for a way to measure the goodness of fit of my model with Cohen?s Kappa (scaling between 0 and 1). The kappa function does not give the results I?m looking for. Heres the code: z<-glm(x~y,binomial) kappa(z, exact = T) Does anyone know more? many thanks Christian -- _______________________________________________ Search for businesses by name, location, or phone number.

Dear R-user, Did anybody know how to calculate the kappa statistics of two vectors for the agreement? for example: a<-c(0,1,0,0,1,0) b<-c(0,1,1,0,0,1) I know the percent of agreement is 3/6, but how to get the kappa? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi, I am having problems getting cohen's kappa to work. I have been using the function: ><-ckappa(x,y) from the psy package. I am trying to test for inter-observer reliability, I have 2 observers and 26 categories, however, the two observers might not necessarily have the same range of categories (I have unequal score ranges). However, I thought R could cope with this. Each time I

Hi, im little bit confused about Cohen's Kappa and i should be look into the Kappa function code. Is the easy formula really wrong? kappa=agreement-chance/(1-chance) many thanks christian ############################################################################### true-negativ:7445 false-positive:3410 false-negativ:347 true-positiv:772 classification-aggrement:68,6%

ok, I've got yet another newbie question. My extensions.conf is getting rather longish and I'm getting dizzy moving back and forth editing this thing. Can I use the include command to include a file in order to break extensions.conf up into more manageable pieces ? Is breaking up the extension.conf file an OK thing to do ? Maybe something like this: include

Hello, When evaluating different learning methods for a categorization problem with the (really useful!) caret package, I'm getting confusing results from the Kappa computation. The data is about 20,000 rows and a few dozen columns, and the categories are quite asymmetrical, 4.1% in one category and 95.9% in the other. When I train a ctree model as: model <- train(dat.dts,

Dear all, I have a question on Cohen's kappa: Assume I have two datasets, one has 500 objects, 10 methods and the other, 1000 different objects, 20 different methods. Could I compare between the two datasets to conclude the 10 methods are more "concordant" than the 20 ones by looking at some output, for example, cohen.kappa{concord} ? One more, could anyone explain in brief,

Hallo all, I am looking for an R implementation of the four parameter kappa distribution (cdf, pdf, quantile, and ransom numbers), or at a minimum, the generalized logistic distribution. Any suggestions? Thank you very much, Serguei

Dear list, I calculated the kappa-accuracy for two differnt classifications.

Consider the following data frame X <- data.frame(Titanic) Does anyone know of an easy way to convert X into a multidimensional array? Example that doesn't work X <- as.array(X, dim=c(4,2,2,2)) To do what I need, X needs to be converted into an array of dimensions c(4,2,2,2) in this case, not a table. Thanks in advance.

Greetings, I am a bit confused by the results returned by the functions: cohen.kappa {concord} classAgreement {e1071} when using a two-way table. for example, if I have an matrix A, and a similar matrix B (same dimensions), then: matrix A and B can be found: http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/files/a_40.txt http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/files/b_40.txt A <-

Hi, I was using a density estimation function as follows: > est <- KernSmooth::bkde(x3, bandwidth=10) When setting bandwidth less than 5, I got the error "longer object length, is not a multiple of shorter object length in: kappa * gcounts ". I wonder if there is anybody who can explain the error for me? Thanks! Hui

Hi, I've got two vectors with ratings from two coders, like this: x<-c("red", "yellow", "blue", "red") #coder number 1 y<-c("red", "blue", "blue", "red") #coder number 2 I want to find Cohen's Kappa using the wkappa function in the psych package. The only example in the docs is using a matrix, which
