To compare the interpretation of agreement in the prediction of neonatal outcome variables, using the limits of agreement (LA) and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).
It should be noted that the interpretation of agreement results on continuous variables using ICC should be performed with caution.
The following interpretation of agreement was used for the kappa values: low (0 0.5), moderate (0.51-0.75) and excellent (0.76-1.0) following established guidelines [ 23].
The only major disadvantage is that it is limited to ordinal scale variables, since if the categories where on a nominal scale, permuting the order may affect the visual interpretation of agreement.
The criteria considered in the interpretation of agreement: -1.0 to 0.0 poor; 0.0 to 0.20 discrete; 0.20 to 0.40 regular; 0.40 to 0.60 moderate; 0.60 to 0.80 substantial; 0.80 to 1.00 nearly perfect [ 16].
The criteria described by Landis & Koch [ 12] were considered in the interpretation of agreement: -1.0 to 0.0 poor; 0.0 to 0.20 discrete; 0.20 to 0.40 regular; 0.40 to 0.60 moderate; 0.60 to 0.80 substantial; 0.80 to 1.00 nearly perfect.
But American objections to the sale are based not on narrow interpretations of agreements but on the broader principle that Israel as an ally should defer to Washington's strategic judgments in regions beyond the Middle East.
Yet boards retain sovereignty over the interpretation of these agreements, including non-compete clauses.
He said the arguments were "finely balanced" but in the end, "not without hesitation, I have come to the conclusion that the [Gloucester Place] interpretation of the agreements is the correct one".
We used Landis and Koch's suggested criteria for the interpretation of the agreement: 0 to 0.2 represented slight agreement, 0.21 to 0.40 fair agreement, 0.41 to 0.60 moderate agreement, and 0.61 to 0.80 substantial agreement.
