Hypothesis testing for non-independent data
Researchers collected the following data concerning comparability of diagnoses of
schizophrenia obtained from primary-care physician report as compared with proxy
report (from spouses). Data was collected from 953 people. The researchers found
that schizophrenia was identified as present on 115 physician reports and 124 proxy
reports. Both physician and proxy informants identified 34 people as positive for
schizophrenia.
How do I compare the percentage of subjects identified as schizophrenic by the two reports? And how do I test if there is a significant agreement between the two reports. Can someone please help me on how to approach this problem?

Well, you could assume that the physician reports were normative, analyze the distribution that would yield, and see whether the proxy results were probable.

I was assuming (probably incorrectly) that you had two samples, sample $A$ had $115$ members and $34$ positives, sample $B$ had $124$ members and also had $34$ positives. But in that case I am ignoring the $953$ entirely.

@lulu, 953 is the grand total number of people sampled. The intersection between the physician report and the proxy report is 34. Meaning 34 were sampled from physician and proxy report.

Clue, to get you started: My interpretation of your question is that
you need to finish filling in the frequencies in the following $2 times 2$ table. (This can be done by simple arithmetic from the counts provided.)
Then use the completed table to do a chi-squared test of independence.
Physician
---------------
Yes No Total
---------------------------------------------
Yes 34 124
Spouse
No
--------------------------------------------
Total 115 953
Addendum, Results from Minitab statistical software are shown below. Do you know how to find
Expected counts
, Contributions
, and Pearson chi-sq statistic
?
Null hypothesis that Physicians and Spouses make judgments
about schizophrenia in independent ways is rejected. That is,
both physicians and spouses must be looking at some of the same
symptoms. Briefly put, under independence, we would 'expect' only
about 15 agreements on 'Yes', but we observe 34 agreements (more than twice as
many as expected).

difference. However, this is supposed to be a comparison of two independent
