Alternative methods focus on modelling patterns of agreement, and log-linear models [7] and latent trait and latent class models [8] have been widely used for this purpose.
An intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) based on a single measurement two-way random effects model of absolute agreement was utilized to examine test-retest correlation [30, 31], and the standard error of measurement (SEM; i.e., the within-subject standard deviation between trials) [31] was used to investigate within-subject variation.
The Trans-Pacific Partnership could deliver a new model of trade agreement that reflects the kind of policies that candidate Obama championed -- one of his campaign promises was to do away with excessive investor-protection clauses.
Using this model, the measure of agreement (kappa = 0.45) was moderate.
Given that the problem of justification has taken center stage, the second aspect of contemporary social contract thinking appears to fall into place: its reliance on models of hypothetical agreement.
Because geographic areas of model agreement can be thought of as representative of all sub-sampled regions or populations [ 33], the finding of a larger ecological envelope for the A1.a sub-lineage experiment lends support to the hypothesis that the A1.a sub-lineage of B. anthracis may have broad environmental tolerances that influence its broad geographic distribution [ 3, 24].
This two-stage process guidelines first, details later copies the model of the Camp David agreement with Egypt in 1978, which was followed the next year by the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty.
We formulate a game-theoretic model of a concession agreement between a government and a private party, a concessionaire, who has to engage a set of service providers as part of the operating responsibilities.
Peptide binding to IgE has been assessed by SPR analyses and the data fit with a biphasic model of interaction, in agreement with the two-site mechanism reported for the native receptor.
Shared follow-up care for women with early breast cancer was demonstrated to be an acceptable model of care with agreement to participate of nearly 80% of patients approached, a much higher participation rate than similar international studies 45-677%).
