Hello everyone. This is a question regarding generation of the concordance index (c index) in R using the function rcorr.cens. In particular about interpretation of its direction and form of the 'predictor'. One of the arguments is a "numeric predictor variable" ( presumably this is just a *single* predictor variable). Say this variable takes numeric values.... Am I

Dear all, As I said in my previous email I have just upgraded to R 2.14.0 on Windows 7. I have just run the 'coxph' function and notice that a Concordance statistic is produced. Is there any way to extract this information from the output? E.g. can I call the concordance value independently of calling the output? Many thanks, Laura [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi. I have data which i would want to assess the degree of agreement between two assays, e.g., to evaluate reproducibility or for inter-rater reliability. I have used the Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient. It looks good ranginging between 0.90 to 0.998. Though this looks good. I am told the Concordance correlation coefficient will give a better picture of how reproducible the assay

Dear I estimate a sample selection model using the Clayton copula and Burr and Gaussian marginal. I need to derive ther Kendall'sw tau from the concordance coefficient by integration. I came across a way to do that in R long time ago but cannot find it again. Can somewone tell me what to read and what to use? Thank you. Steven Yen

Greetings. I've been experimenting with some algorithms for document classification (specifically, a Naive Bayes classifier and a kNN classifier) and I would now like to calculate some inter-rater reliability scores. I have the data in a PostgreSQL database, such that for each document, each measure (there are 9) has three variables: ap_(measure), nb_(measure), and knn_(measure). ap is me

Hello again, First, thanks for the help that got the latest plotrix package finished. I had been planning to write something about packages since Scott Waichler offered the gantt.chart function. Then Ben Bolker (who helped me to write the axis.break function) asked if I would be willing to include some of his plotting functions and almost immediately after that Sander Oom kindly donated the

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,

Hi, can anybody tell me how to contact the maintainer of the "concord" package?

Dear All, I am new to R and am trying to learn how to create functions using R. Below is code which calculates Lin's Concordance Coefficient. After I calculate the coefficient I want to create a scatter plot which annotates the coefficient along with preceding text onto the plot. The below code doesn't seem to work. If I use only the object 'lincc' on the text command it works

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 <-

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 R-users, I'm having some problems in using the Hmisc package. I'm estimating a cox ph model and want to test whether the drop in concordance index due to omitting one covariate is significant. I think (but I'm not sure) here are two ways to do that: 1) predict two cox model (the full model and model without the covariate of interest) and estimate the concordance index (i.e. area

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.

The survival package, like many others, has several helper functions that are not declared in the namespace, since their only use is to be called by other "main" functions of the package.? This works well since the functions in the survival namespace can see them --- without ::: arguments --- and others don't. Until a situation I ran into this week, for which I solicit comments

I have would like to use logistic regression to analyze the percentage of correct responses in a 2 alternative forced choice task. The question is whether one needs to take into account the fact expected probabilities for the percentage of correct responses ranges between 0.5 and 1 in this case and how to adjust the link function accordingly in R (see details below). Gabriel Subjects were asked

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

The xdvi and yap DVI viewers allow inverse (aka reverse) search: you click on a location in the output display, and your editor moves to the corresponding location in the input file. yap at least also allows forward search, where you can have your editor tell it to location where a particular input line is displayed. I would like something like this to work in Sweave files. That is, I

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
