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. ... the volume provides an accessible introduction to the area at a sufficient depth for most practitioners. -International Statistical Review, 2013 Praise 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. -Patrick E.
