Computing the agreement between two continuous sequences is of great interest in statistics when comparing two instruments or one instrument with a gold standard. The probability of agreement (PA) quantifies the similarity between two variables of interest, and it is useful for accounting what constitutes a practically important difference. In this article we introduce a generalization of the PA for the treatment of spatial variables. Our proposal makes the PA dependent on the spatial lag. As a consequence, for isotropic stationary and nonstationary spatial processes, the conditions for which the PA decays as a function of the distance lag are established. Estimation is addressed through a first-order approximation that guarantees the asymptotic normality of the sample version of the PA. The sensitivity of the PA is studied for finite sample size, with respect to the covariance parameters. The new method is described and illustrated with real data involving autumnal changes in the green chromatic coordinate (Gcc), an index of "greenness" that captures the phenological stage of tree leaves, is associated with carbon flux from ecosystems, and is estimated from repeated images of forest canopies.
