Measures of Interobserver Agreement and Reliability, Second Edition covers important issues related to the design and analysis of reliability and agreement studies. It examines factors affecting the degree of measurement errors in reliability generalization studies and characteristics influencing the process of diagnosing each subject in a reliability study. The book also illustrates the importance of blinding and random selection of subjects.
New to the Second Edition
This edition continues to offer guidance on how to run sound reliability and agreement studies in clinical settings and other types of investigations. The author explores two ways of producing one pooled estimate of agreement from several centers: a fixed-effect approach and a random sample of centers using a simple meta-analytic approach. The text includes end-of-chapter exercises as well as downloadable resources of data sets and SAS code.

"The new edition of this book includes popular and important new
topics on assessing agreement and reliability … this book is very
readable and it contains detailed examples and programming codes
that can be easily followed and carried out by practicing
statisticians. It is a valuable reference for someone who has
limited background on assessing agreement and reliability."
—Huiman X. Barnhart, Journal of the American Statistical
Association, September 2014, Vol. 109"There are fairly substantial
changes from the first edition. These include more focus on
defining the subjects’ and raters’ populations, the loss of
efficiency consequent on categorizing continuous scores, sample
size determination, and pooling multicentre studies. Two new
chapters are added, one on models for methods comparison studies,
and one on the analysis of reproducibility using the
within-subjects coefficient of variation. … Overall the volume
provides an accessible introduction to the area, at a sufficient
depth for most practitioners."
—David J. Hand, Mathematics Department, Imperial College London,
UK, in International Statistical ReviewPraise for the First
Edition:… an important strength of this text is that it brings
together technical results on agreement statistics from a variety
of sources, and it often provides information about the precision
of the estimates and interval estimates … this text provides a
handy compilation of statistical approaches to interobserver
agreement … biostatisticians …are likely to find the summary and
results to be helpful, and they will want to add this book to their
collection.

Mohamed Shoukri is well placed to write this book, as he is one of
the foremost current researchers in this field. I recommend it.
