Interrater reliability: the kappa statistic
The kappa statistic is frequently used to test interrater reliability. The importance of rater reliability lies in the fact that it represents the extent to which the data collected in the study are correct representations of the variables measured. Measurement of the extent to which data collectors (raters) assign the same score to the same variable is called interrater reliability. While ther...
متن کاملThe Kappa Statistic: A Second Look
In recent years, the coefficient of agreement has become the de facto standard to evaluate intercoder agreement for tagging tasks. In this squib, we highlight issues that affect and that the community has largely neglected. First, we discuss the assumptions underlying different computations of the expected agreement component of . Second, we discuss how prevalence and bias affect the measure. I...
متن کاملConfidence intervals for the kappa statistic
The command kapci calculates 100(1 − α)% confidence intervals for the kappa statistic using an analytical method in the case of dichotomous variables or bootstrap for more complex situations. For instance, kapci allows estimating CI for polychotomous variables using weighted kappa or for cases in which there are more than 2 raters/replications.
متن کاملUnderstanding interobserver agreement: the kappa statistic.
Items such as physical exam findings, radiographic interpretations, or other diagnostic tests often rely on some degree of subjective interpretation by observers. Studies that measure the agreement between two or more observers should include a statistic that takes into account the fact that observers will sometimes agree or disagree simply by chance. The kappa statistic (or kappa coefficient) ...
متن کاملThe kappa statistic in reliability studies: use, interpretation, and sample size requirements.
PURPOSE This article examines and illustrates the use and interpretation of the kappa statistic in musculoskeletal research. SUMMARY OF KEY POINTS The reliability of clinicians' ratings is an important consideration in areas such as diagnosis and the interpretation of examination findings. Often, these ratings lie on a nominal or an ordinal scale. For such data, the kappa coefficient is an ap...
