Abstract

Measurements serve as the basis for evaluation in almost all scientific disciplines, especially in physical sciences, medical studies and health care. There has been substantial statistical literature in the last several decades on assessing agreement. This presentation provides a review of assessing agreement with emphasis on intuitive understanding and insights into both controversies and appropriate applications of agreement indices.
