The phrase "agreement values between" is not correct and may lead to confusion in written English.
It could be used in contexts discussing the values or principles that are agreed upon by two or more parties, but it requires additional context for clarity.
Example: "The agreement values between the two organizations were established during the negotiation process."
Alternatives: "shared values among" or "mutual values between".
Figure 4 The distribution of Finn agreement values between participants and oracle: cases without visualization in (A) and (C); cases with visualization in (B) and (D).
Guidelines suggest that values of κ above 75% indicate excellent agreement, values between 75 and 40% indicate good to fair agreement and those below 40% show poor agreement [12].
κ values below 0.4 indicated poor agreement, values between 0.4 and 0.6 represent moderate agreement, values between 0.6 and 0.8 represented substantial agreement, and values greater than 0.8 corresponded to excellent agreement.
Kappa values < 0.4 were considered as low agreement, values between 0.4 to 0.59 as moderate, 0.6 to 0.74 as good and higher as very good agreement.
Values of kappa above 0.75 indicate strong agreement; values between 0.40 and 0.75 represent fair to good agreement and value less than 0.40 reflect poor agreement [ 28].
Values of κ > 0.6 were correlated with good agreement, values between 0.4 and 0.6 considered moderate agreements, values < 0.4 corresponded to fair, and values < 0.2 reflected poor agreement.
We adopted classification levels to make it easier the comparison between the agreement values.
Both coefficients range from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating a stronger relationship: values ≤ 0.01 indicate poor agreement and values between 0.01 and 0.20 slight agreement, between 0.21 and 0.40 fair agreement, between 0.41 and 0.60 moderate agreement, between 0.61 and 0.80 substantial agreement, between 0.81 and 0.99 almost perfect agreement, and 1 perfect agreement.
A κ value greater than 0.75 is considered excellent agreement beyond chance, values below 0.40 represent poor agreement, and values between 0.40 and 0.75 represent fair-to-good agreement (Fleiss, 1981).
The k statistics for multiple observers and the standard errors for were calculated by using the method reported by Fleiss [23] [25]: k values range between +1 (perfect agreement) and −1 (perfect disagreement); values greater than 0.75 represent an excellent agreement; values lower than 0.40 a poor agreement; and values between 0.40 and 0.75 a fair to good agreement beyond chance.
Values between 0 and 0.4 represent poor agreement, and values between 0.4 and 0.75 represent fair agreement and values above 0.75 represents excellent agreement.
