similar to: Where do I find Cohen´s kappa???

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

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'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

Hi guys, I new here and I've just install *. I fall in love with *, this is a greate tool. I'm try to develop some IVR struct but I can not find any example so far. Someone can send me some examples or some docs. Thanks, HB -- _______________________________________________ Find what you are looking for with the Lycos Yellow Pages

Can someone help me calculate correlations for grouped values? Heres what my first few line of data look like: > head(cmexpr) LLID GMID CEXPR MEXPR 1 1005 10831 2.057462 -0.08486 2 1005 10831 2.057515 -0.08486 3 1005 10831 2.057462 0.01209 4 1005 10831 2.057515 0.01209 5 1005 10836 2.050980 0.17237 6 1005 10836 2.018576 0.17237 LLID is gene id, GMID is cell line id, the EXPR

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%

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]]

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 <-

Hello, I am using logistic discriminant analysis to check whether a known classification Yobs can be predicted by few continuous variables X. What I do is to predict class probabilities with multinom() in nnet(), obtaining a predicted classification Ypred and then compute the percentage P(obs) of objects classified the same in Yobs and Ypred. My problem now is to figure out whether P(obs) is

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 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'm new to R but wan't to use it to compute the statistics of my medical study. The study includes several parameters for a number of patients. Each parameter was assessed by a number of readers, once with a special condition, once without. Now I have a data.frame with colums like: PatientID, ReaderID, SpecialCond(yes/no), Parameter1, Parameter2..... the rows are not sorted, and

I'm looking for a function in R that extends kappa to multiple raters when there is more than one response per subject. For example, say a group of doctors have to 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 data I

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

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

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, 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,

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

Buenas, ¿alguien sabe qué puede ser este error? data es una df y las columnas 23 y 24 son las que quiero comparar; están bien. testK<-kappa2(data[,c(23,24)], "equal") Error in sort.list(y) : 'x' must be atomic for 'sort.list' Have you called 'sort' on a list? -- Dr Manuel Mendoza Department of Biogeography and Global Change National Museum of Natural

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
