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]]

Dear R-colleagues, this is a question from a R-newbie medical doctor: I am evaluating data on inter-observer-reliability in endoscopy. 20 medical doctors judged 42 videos filling out a multiple choice survey for each video. The overall-data is organized in a classical way: observations (items from the multiple choice survey) as columns, each case (identified by the two columns "number of

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

Hello Everyone I am calculating Fleiss Kappa, I have 28 raters, 5 Subjects and 5 ratings. The problem is that there are 2 missing values in the data. Would it better to replace those with "0" or should those be omitted? By omission I will be left wit only 3 subjects. and my second problem is that overall agreement comes to zero, whereas the data is not showing agreement to be close

Win7, R2.11.0 I am working on a report together with several co-authors. The data concern several performance measures on a set of groups. These measures are scored by external judges. We report findings on several datasets, including several of the 6 ICC's discussed by Shrout & Fleiss (1979). We determine these using the icc function from the irr package. We have also used the ICC

Hello, I am trying to get the output from the numerical simulation of a system of ordinary differential equations for a range of values for three parameters. I am using the ode() function (deSolve package) to run the numerical simulation and apply() to run the simulation function for each set of parameter values. I am having trouble getting the apply() function to work. Here is an

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.

I''m a graduating student of IT right now and in a couple of months, we''ll be starting on a new project in the University. My group and I decided to create a voting system which requires Fingerprint scanner to identify the voters and make the voting process more secured. I still don''t know how biometrics fingerprint scanner works exactly and I''ve just started

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

I am currently working with R's polycor package and I have encountered a problem. I tried to follow the steps as outlined in the sem.pdf file where a CFA model is run using polychoric correlations. Every time I run the command sem(model, data, N=.), I get the following warning message: Warning message: In if (orthogonal) { : the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be

Dear Dr. Sarkar, When I try to run the codes, I found the following problem: > h<- sample(1:14, 319, rep=T) > c<- sample(1:14, 608, rep=T) > n<- sample(1:14, 1140, rep=T) > vt<-c(h, c, n) > ta<-rep(c("h", "c", "n"), c(319, 608, 1140)) > > to<-data.frame(vt,ta) > library(lattice) Attaching package: 'lattice'

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

I'm an R newbie and had a question about the read.xls function. I've heard that this is often not a reliable function to use for importing data. However, I have created numerous xls files which contain information about voter turnout and macroeconomic indicators in India. I'm writing a paper on the relationship between economic growth and voter turnout. This is the command I use:

R Experts: I am conducting a meta-analysis where the effect measures to be pooled are simple proportions. For example, consider this data from Fleiss/Levin/Paik's Statistical methods for rates and proportions (2003, p189) on smokers: Study N Event P(Event) 1 86 83 0.965 2 93 90 0.968 3 136 129 0.949 4 82 70 0.854 Total

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

Hello, I'm attempting to plot error bars side by side rather than stacked on top of each other with ggplot2. Here is the sample code I am using: #Code #Data spd<-c("s","f","f","s","f","s","s","s","f","f","s","f") r<-c(4.9,3.2,2.1,.2,3.8,6.4,7.5,1.7,3.4,4.1,2.2,5)
