Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to provide a new Kappa coefficient based on fuzzy scoring. This new Kappa is called fuzzy Kappa. Fuzzy theory has been widely used in quantitative research and many researches indicate its positive utility. Moreover, viewpoints of measurement according to fuzzy theory conform to the thinking of human thoughts. Therefore, it is feasible to measure the scoring of decision-making or judgment. In addition, Kappa coefficient is one kind of rater reliability and it is to measure the consistency on judgment among raters. Traditional Kappa coefficient is based on the crisp

Abstract:
Cohen’s kappa is a widely used association coefficient for summarizing interrater agreement on a nominal scale. Kappa reduces the ratings of the two observers to a single number. With three or more categories it is more informative to summarize the ratings by category coefficients that describe the information for each category separately. Examples of category coefficients are the sensitivity or specificity of a category or the Bloch-Kraemer weighted kappa. However, in many research studies one is often only interested in a single overall number that roughly summarizes the agreement. It is sho

Cohen’s kappa coefficient is commonly used for assessing agreement between classifications of two raters on a nominal scale. Three variants of Cohen’s kappa that can handle missing data are presented. Data are considered missing if one or both ratings of a unit are missing.

Abstract:
As measures of interobserver agreement for both nominal and ordinal categories, Cohen’s kappa coefficients appear to be the most widely used with simple and meaningful interpretations. However, for negative coefficient values when (the probability of) observed disagreement exceeds chance-expected disagreement, no fixed lower bounds exist for the kappa coefficients and their interpretations are no longer meaningful and may be entirely misleading. In this paper, alternative measures of disagreement (or negative agreement) are proposed as simple corrections or modifications of Cohen’s kappa coeff

Abstract:
SummaryThe kappa coefficient is a widely used measure of agreement between observers’ independent recording of diagnoses. Kappa adjusts the overall agreement for expected chance agreement. The dependence of kappa on the prevalence . of a diagnosis has not previously been emphasized. This dependence means that kappa does not give a general statement of the reproducibility of a diagnosis. The result of a study of observer agreement should, therefore, not – as it has been done in several studies – be given by the kappa value alone. The kappa value should always be given together with the original

Agreement studies are of paramount importance in various scientific domains. When several observers classify objects on categorical scales, agreement can be quantified through multirater kappa coefficients.

Methods: two screening instruments: Denver II and ELM were applied for the development in an observational cross-sectional descriptive study. The agreement between Denver II Test and its language sector and ELM were assessed by Kappa coefficient. Results: 77 children evaluated, 36.3% had an overall loss of the development performed by Denver II and 32.5% loss of the

Abstract:
Emergency responders frequently request satellite-based crisis information for flood monitoring to target the often-limited resources and to prioritize response actions throughout a disaster situation. We present a generic processing chain that covers all modules required for operational flood monitoring from multi-spectral satellite data. This includes data search, ingestion and preparation, water segmentation and mapping of flooded areas. Segmentation of the water extent is done by a convolutional neural network that has been trained on a global dataset of Landsat TM, ETM+, OLI and Sentinel-

We assessed the reproducibility and validity of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) among middle-aged and older adults in Semarang, Indonesia. A total of 259 subjects aged 40–80 years completed two FFQs (nine-month apart) and nine 24 h dietary recalls (24HDRs, as a reference method). The reproducibility of the FFQ was analyzed using correlation coefficient, intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC), weighted kappa statistics and misclassification analysis. The validity was estimated by comparing the data acquired from FFQ1 and 24HDRs. The crude Pearson’s correlation coefficients and ICC for t

Abstract:
Somatic mutations in the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) promoter regions are frequent events in urothelial cancer (UC) and their detection in urine (supernatant cell-free DNA or DNA from exfoliated cells) could serve as putative non-invasive biomarkers for UC detection and monitoring. However, detecting these tumor-borne mutations in urine requires highly sensitive methods, capable of measuring low-level mutations. In this study, we developed sensitive droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) assays for detecting TERT promoter mutations (C228T, C228A, CC242-243TT, and C250T). We tested the C228T a

Abstract:
AbstractIn this paper, we construct a generalization of the Kohnen plus space for Hilbert modular forms of half-integral weight. The Kohnen plus space can be characterized by the eigenspace of a certain Hecke operator. It can be also characterized by the behavior of the Fourier coefficients. For example, in the parallel weight case, a modular form of weight $\kappa + (1/ 2)$ with $\xi \mathrm{th} $ Fourier coefficient $c(\xi )$ belongs to the Kohnen plus space if and only if $c(\xi )= 0$ unless $\mathop{(- 1)}\nolimits ^{\kappa } \xi $ is congruent to a square modulo $4$.

BACKGROUND The Naranjo criteria are frequently used for determination of causality for suspected adverse drug reactions (ADRs); however, the psychometric properties have not been studied in the critically ill. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Naranjo criteria for ADR determination in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS All patients admitted to a surgical ICU during a 3-month period were enrolled. Four raters independently reviewed 142 suspected ADRs using the Naranjo criteria (review 1). Raters evaluated the 142 suspected ADRs 3–4 weeks later, again using the Naranj

Objective. Tracheal sounds were used to detect apnea on various occasions. However, ambient noises can contaminate tracheal sounds which result in poor performance of apnea detection. The objective of this paper was to apply the adaptive filtering (AF) algorithm to improve the quality of tracheal sounds and examine the accuracy of the apnea detection algorithm using tracheal sounds after AF. Method. Tracheal sounds were acquired using a primary microphone encased in a plastic bell, and the ambient noises were collected using a reference microphone resting outside the plastic bell in quiet and

Abstract Purpose. This article examines and illustrates the use and interpretation of the kappa statistic in musculoskeletal research. Summary of Key Points. The reliability of clinicians' ratings is an important consideration in areas such as diagnosis and the interpretation of examination findings. Often, these ratings lie on a nominal or an ordinal scale. For such data, the kappa coefficient is an appropriate measure of reliability. Kappa is defined, in both weighted and unweighted forms, and its use is illustrated with examples from musculoskeletal research. Factors that can influence the

Information about the land use of built-up areas is required for the comprehensive planning and management of cities. However, due to the high cost of the land use surveys, land use data is out-dated or not available for many cities. Therefore, we propose the reuse of up-to-date and low-cost place data from social media applications for land use mapping purposes. As main case study, we used Foursquare place data for estimating nonresidential building block use in the city of Amsterdam. Based on the Foursquare place categories, we estimated the use of 9827 building blocks, and we compared the c

The major issue of concern in change detection process is the accuracy of the algorithm to recover changed and unchanged pixels. The fusion rules presented in the existing methods could not integrate the features accurately which results in more number of false alarms and speckle noise in the output image. This paper proposes an algorithm which fuses two multi-temporal images through proposed set of fusion rules in stationary wavelet transform. In the first step, the source images obtained from log ratio and mean ratio operators are decomposed into three high frequency sub-bands and one low fr
