New chapter that describes various models for methods comparison studies
New chapter on the analysis of reproducibility using the within-subjects coefficient of variation
Emphasis on the definition of the subjects and raters population as well as sample size determination

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.
