Abstract: The statistical measurement of agreement is important in a number of fields, e.g., content analysis, education, computational linguistics, biomedical imaging. We propose Sklar's Omega, a Gaussian copula-based framework for measuring intra-coder, inter-coder, and inter-method agreement as well as agreement relative to a gold standard. We demonstrate the efficacy and advantages of our approach by applying it to both simulated and experimentally observed datasets, including data from two medical imaging studies. Application of our proposed methodology is supported by our open-source R package, sklarsomega, which is available for download from the Comprehensive R Archive Network.
