虽然统计方法的进步使人们能够更深入地了解诊断测试和评分员的特点，但研究人员经常依赖不完整或不适当的绩效指标。缺乏可用的计算机软件可能是最佳利用收集的数据来评估诊断测试和评分者之间的一致性的一个重要障碍。设计了一个电子表格，以便在这些调查产生的数据可以汇总到2 x 2表中时，为诊断测试和评分员间可靠性的评估提供全面的统计数据。除了测试或评分员表现的广泛指标外，这些量的可信区间也是通过电子表格计算的。(C)2000爱思唯尔科学有限公司。保留所有权利。
While advances in statistical methods allow greater insight into the characteristics of diagnostic tests and of raters, researchers frequently rely on incomplete or inappropriate indices of performance. Lack of available computer software is probably an important barrier to optimal use of data collected to evaluate diagnostic tests and agreement between raters. A spreadsheet has been designed to provide comprehensive statistics for the assessment of diagnostic tests and inter-rater reliability when these investigations yield data that can be summarized in a 2 x 2 table. As well as a wide range of indices of test or rater performance, confidence intervals for these quantities are also calculated by the spreadsheet. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
