Sample size requirements for the comparison of two or more coefficients of inter-observer agreement

Abstract:
I provide sample size formulae and tables for the design of studies that compare two or more coefficients of inter-observer agreement or concordance. Such studies may arise, for example, when interest centres on assessment of how measures of inter-observer agreement vary across different patient subgroups or treatment centres. I consider cases of both a continuous and a dichotomous outcome measure. Three examples illustrate the results.

Testing a Claim about Standard Deviation
The hypothesis testing for the claim of population standard deviation (or variance) requires the data and samples to be random and unbiased. The population distribution also must be normal. There is no specific requirement on the sample size as the estimation is based on the chi-square distribution.
As a first step, the hypothesis (null and alternative) concerning the claim about...
