Assessing method agreement for paired repeated binary measurements administered by multiple ratersJune 27th, 2019
Method comparison studies are essential for development in medical and clinical fields. These studies often compare a cheaper, faster, or less invasive measuring method with a widely used one to see if they have sufficient agreement for inter- changeable use. Moreover, unlike simply reading measurements from devices, e.g., reading body temperature from a thermometer, the response measurement in many clinical and medical assessments is impacted not only by the mea- suring device but also by the rater. For example, widespread inconsistencies are commonly observed among raters in psychological or cognitive assessment studies due to different characteristics such as rater training and experience, es- pecially in large-scale assessment studies when many raters are employed. This paper proposes a model-based approach to assess agreement of two measuring methods for paired repeated binary measurements under the scenario where the agreement between two measuring methods and the agreement among
