Common use of Statistical Analyses Clause in Contracts

Statistical Analyses. The multirater n statistics were computed by using the macro MAGREE with SAS, Version 9.3 (SAS Institute, ▇▇▇▇, North Car- olina). This macro implements the methodology of Fleiss et al,27 measuring the agreement when the number of raters is >2. This method also allowed identifying, for each scale, the categories in Ob1 0.497 ± 0.098 0.411 ± 0.102 0.478 ± 0.103 0.544 ± 0.101 0.508 ± 0.104 0.315 ± 0.114 0.517 ± 0.100 0.580 ± 0.100 0.519 ± 0.094 Ob2 0.419 ± 0.100 0.286 ± 0.102 0.576 ± 0.096 0.506 ± 0.102 0.320 ± 0.115 0.458 ± 0.096 0.538 ± 0.099 0.330 ± 0.089 0.330 ± 0.089 Ob3 0.197 ± 0.088 0.284 ± 0.100 0.513 ± 0.103 0.191 ± 0.096 0.339 ± 0.103 0.345 ± 0.105 0.404 ± 0.103 Ob4 0.510 ± 0.100 0.343 ± 0.103 0.352 ± 0.103 0.384 ± 0.098 0.583 ± 0.098 0.297 ± 0.087 Ob5 0.602 ± 0.101 0.594 ± 0.102 0.712 ± 0.091 0.752 ± 0.082 0.397 ± 0.094 Ob6 0.525 ± 0.107 0.465 ± 0.108 0.610 ± 0.101 0.425 ± 0.093 Ob6a 0.542 ± 0.096 0.421 ± 0.106 0.283 ± 0.085 Ob7 0.511 ± 0.102 0.442 ± 0.102 Ob8 0.423 ± 0.095 All observers n = 0.44570 ± 0.013176; P < 0.001 Note:—Inter-observer Kappa values S 0.6 are highlighted in bold type.
