Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By writing the third edition of the Handbook of Inter-Rater Reliability, my primary goal was to allow researchers and students in all fields of research to be able to access in one place, detailed, well-organized, and readable materials on inter-rater reliability assessment. Chance-corrected agreement coefficients are covered in part I of the book, while part II is devoted to agreement coefficients in the family of intraclass correlations. Part III covers several rank-based measures of association, in addition to discussing agreement within the framework of item analysis. The methods and techniques developed in this edition of the handbook of inter-rater reliability can handle missing ratings, which are common in most experiments. This is an improvement over the second edition, which describes the methods for complete data sets only. Part II and Part III contain new chapters aimed at providing researchers with a broader coverage of inter-rater reliability techniques. Even chance-corrected agreement coefficients, already covered in the second edition, are presented in the current edition with more depth and more clarity. I wanted to ensure that the content of this book is accessible to readers with no background in statistics. Based on feedback I received about earlier editions of this book, this goal appears to have been achieved to a large extent. I expect the Handbook of Inter-Rater Reliability to be an essential reference on inter-rater reliability assessment to all researchers, students, and practitioners in all fields of research.

This book was released on 2014-09-07 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of this book was very well received by researchers working in many different fields of research. The use of that text also gave these researchers the opportunity to raise questions, and express additional needs for materials on techniques poorly covered in the literature. For example, when designing an inter-rater reliability study, many researchers wanted to know how to determine the optimal number of raters and the optimal number of subjects that should participate in the experiment. Also, very little space in the literature has been devoted to the notion of intra-rater reliability, particularly for quantitative measurements. The fourth edition of this text addresses those needs, in addition to further refining the presentation of the material already covered in the third edition. Features of the Fourth Edition include: New material on sample size calculations for chance-corrected agreement coefficients, as well as for intraclass correlation coefficients. The researcher will be able to determine the optimal number raters, subjects, and trials per subject.The chapter entitled “Benchmarking Inter-Rater Reliability Coefficients” has been entirely rewritten.The introductory chapter has been substantially expanded to explore possible definitions of the notion of inter-rater reliability.All chapters have been revised to a large extent to improve their readability.

Download or read book Handbook of Inter Rater Reliability The Definitive Guide to Measuring the Extent of Agreement Among Raters Vol 2 Analysis of Quantitative Ratings written by Kilem Li Gwet and published by Advanced Analytics, LLC. This book was released on 2021-06-04 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low inter-rater reliability can jeopardize the integrity of scientific inquiries or have dramatic consequences in practice. In a clinical setting for example, a wrong drug or wrong dosage of the correct drug may be administered to patients at a hospital due to a poor diagnosis. Likewise, exam grades are considered reliable if they are determined only by the candidate's proficiency level in a particular skill, and not by the examiner's scoring method. The study of inter-rater reliability helps researchers address these issues using an approach that is methodologically sound. The 4th edition of this book covers Chance-corrected Agreement Coefficients (CAC) for the analysis of categorical ratings, as well as Intraclass Correlation Coefficients (ICC) for the analysis of quantitative ratings. The 5th edition however, is released in 2 volumes. The present volume 2, focuses on ICC methods whereas volume 1 is devoted to CAC methods. The decision to release 2 volumes was made at the request of numerous readers of the 4th edition who indicated that they are often interested in either CAC techniques or in ICC techniques, but rarely in both at a given point in time. Moreover, the large number of topics covered in this 5th edition could not be squeezed in a single book, without it becoming voluminous. Volume 2 of the Handbook of Inter-Rater Reliability 5th edition contains 2 new chapters not found in the previous editions, and updated versions of 7 chapters taken from the 4th edition. Here is a summary of the main changes from the 4th edition that you will find in this book: Chapter 2 is new to the 5th edition and covers various ways of setting up your rating dataset before analysis. Chapter 3 is introductory and an update of chapter 7 in the 4th edition. In addition to providing an overview of the book content similar to that of the 4th edition, this chapter introduces the new multivariate intraclass correlation not covered in previous editions. Chapter 4 covers intraclass correlation coefficients in one-factor models and has a separate section devoted to sample size calculations. Two approaches to sample size calculations are now offered: the statistical power approach and the confidence interval approach. Chapter 5 covers intraclass correlation coefficients under the random factorial design, which is based on a two-way Analysis of Variance model where the rater and subject factors are both random. Section 5.4 on sample size calculations has been expanded substantially. Researchers can now choose between the statistical power approach based on the Minimum Detectable Difference (MDD) and the confidence interval approach based on the target interval length. Chapter 6 covers intraclass correlation coefficients under the mixed factorial design, which is based on a two-way Analysis of Variance model where the rater factor is fixed and the subject factor random. The treatment of sample size calculations has been expanded substantially. Chapter 7 is new and covers Finn's coefficient of reliability as an alternative to the traditional intraclass correlations when they are not be applicable. Chapter 8 entitled "Measures of Association and Concordance" covers various association and concordance measures often used by researchers. It includes a discussion of Lin's concordance correlation coefficient and its statistical properties. Chapter 9 is new and covers 3 important topics: the benchmarking of ICC estimates, a graphical approach for exploring the influence of individual raters in low-agreement inter-rater reliability experiments, and the multivariate intraclass correlation. I wanted this book to be sufficiently detailed for practitioners to gain more insight into the topics, which would not be possible if the book was limited to a high-level coverage of technical concepts.

Download or read book Handbook of Inter Rater Reliability Second Edition written by Kilem Li Gwet and published by Advanced Analytics, LLC. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents various methods for calculating the extent of agreement among raters for different types of ratings. Some of the methods initially developed for nominal-scale ratings only, are extended in this book to ordinal and interval scales as well. To ensure an adequate level of sophistication in the treatment of this topic, the precision aspects associated with the agreement coefficients are treated. New methods begin with the simple scenario of 2 raters and 2 response categories before being extended to the more complex situation of multiple raters, and multiple-level nominal, ordinal and interval scales. Cohen's Kappa coefficient is one of the most widely-used agreement coefficients among researchers, despite its tendency to yield controvertial results. Kappa and its various versions have raised concerns among practitioners and showed limitations, which are well-documented in the literature. This book discusses numerous alternatives, and proposes a new framework of analysis that allows researchers to gain further insight into the core issues related to the interpretation of the coefficients' magnitude, in addition to providing a common framework for evaluating the merit of different approaches. The author explains in a clear and intuitive fashion the motivations and assumptions underlying each technique discussed in the book. He demonstrates the benefits of using basic level statistical thinking in the design and analysis of inter-rater reliability experiments. The interpretation and limitations of various techniques are extensively discussed. From optimizing the design of the inter-rater reliability study to validating the computed agreement coefficients, the author's step-by-step approach is practical, easy to understand and will put all practitioners on the path to achieving their data quality objectives.

Download or read book Handbook of Neurologic Rating Scales 2nd Edition written by and published by Demos Medical Publishing. This book was released on with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Rating scales are used daily by everyone involved in the management of patients with neurologic disease and in the design and management of neurologic clinical trials. Now there is a single source for the wide range of scales used in specific neurologic diseases and neurorehabilitation. You will refer to this volume constantly! The first edition of the Handbook of Neurologic Rating Scales quickly became an invaluable reference work on the increasing array of scales for measuring neurologic disease. In the brief few years since the first edition the importance of this book has only increased. New Chapters Include Scales On: Generic and general use Pediatric neurology and rehabilitation Peripheral neuropathy and pain Ataxia HIV/AIDS And instruments for diagnosing headaches. Formal measurement of the effects of neurologic disease and of treatment effects, beyond the description of changes on the standard neurologic examination, is a relatively recent development. Controlled clinical trials and outcomes research are at the heart of modern information-based medicine, and neurologic scales are essential tools in clinical trials designed to provide this information. A Resource for Clinical Trials The Handbook of Neurologic Rating Scales provides a resource for clinicians and clinical investigators in the broad field of neurology and neurologic rehabilitation to help them: evaluate the clinical trials literature by providing information on the scales being used evaluate and select appropriate and efficient scales for clinical trials and outcomes research, and provide information that will help them to develop new scales or measures or to improve existing ones. A Resource for Evaluating Disease Status Outcomes research is playing an increasingly important role in clinical management and neurorehabilitation, and these also depend largely on measurement of disease status and change. In this era of managed care, neurologists must produce outcomes data demonstrating the effectiveness of neurologic care if the specialty is to survive, and certainly if it is to thrive. Even effective therapies are likely to fall by the wayside if studies to prove their effectiveness are not done. Comprehensive and Standardized Information on All Scales Each chapter in this volume contains the scales of importance and in current use, including a sequence of scale descriptions and specific scales in a standard format, as well as a summary and recommendations indicating which scales are most useful for specific purposes and whether a combination of scales is particularly useful or if better scales are needed. Each entry notes: the purpose for which the scale was developed and its current uses if they differ from those for which it was developed a detailed description of the scale information about validation, such as: Does the scale have face validity? i.e., does it appear to measure what it purports to measure? how and by whom the scale is administered the time needed to administer and score the scale the scale itself or, when the scale is proprietary or too long for inclusion, a description and key references special considerations, including unusual measures needed to obtain a valid score or problems in administering the test in specific patients advantages, or what makes the scale good or useful. Disadvantages, or what makes the scale difficult to use or impairs its reliability key references, including the original publication of the scale and its validation Downloadable PDFs of the scales contained in the Handbook of Neurologic Rating Scales are included with the purchase of this book.
