Modeling the agreement of discrete bivariate survival times using kappa coefficient.

چکیده
Using local kappa coefficients, we develop a method to assess the agreement between two discrete survival times that are measured on the same subject by different raters or methods. We model the marginal distributions for the two event times and local kappa coefficients in terms of covariates. An estimating equation is used for modeling the marginal distributions and a pseudo-likelihood procedure is used to estimate the parameters in the kappa model. The performance of the estimation procedure is examined through simulations. The proposed method can be extended to multivariate discrete survival distributions.

Measuring agreement of multivariate discrete survival times using a modified weighted kappa coefficient.
Assessing agreement is often of interest in clinical studies to evaluate the similarity of measurements produced by different raters or methods on the same subjects. We present a modified weighted kappa coefficient to measure agreement between bivariate discrete survival times. The proposed kappa coefficient accommodates censoring by redistributing the mass of censored observations within the g...
متن کاملA note on assessing agreement with frailty models
Assessing agreement is often of interest in biomedical sciences to evaluate the similarity of measurements produced by different raters or methods on the same subjects. We investigate the agreement structure between bivariate survival times for a class of frailty models. Conditional on the frailty, bivariate survival times are assumed to be independent and follow a Weibull distribution. We pres...

Predictive modeling of habitat distribution of range plant species and identification of their potential habitats play important roles in the restoration of disturbed rangelands. This study aimed to predict the geographical distribution of Artemisia sieberi and find the influential variables in the distribution of A. sieberi in the desert rangelands of central Iran. Maps of environmental variab...
متن کاملFixed-effects modeling of Cohen's weighted kappa for bivariate multinomial data
Cohen’s kappa and weighted kappa statistics are the conventional methods used frequently in measuring agreement for categorical responses. In this paper, through the perspective of a generalized inverse, we propose an alternative general framework of the fixed-effects modeling of Cohen’s weighted kappa, proposed by Yang and Chinchilli 2011 . Properties of the proposed method are provided. Small...
متن کاملNonparametric estimation of the concordance correlation coefficient under univariate censoring.
Assessing agreement is often of interest in clinical studies to evaluate the similarity of measurements produced by different raters or methods on the same subjects. Lin's (1989, Biometrics 45, 255-268) concordance correlation coefficient (CCC) has become a popular measure of agreement for correlated continuous outcomes. However, commonly used estimation methods for the CCC do not accommodate c...
