The 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 کاملInterrater 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 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 کاملA second look at the second law
It is commonly argued that the spectacular increase in order which has occurred on Earth does not violate the second law of thermodynamics because the Earth is an open system, and anything can happen in an open system as long as the entropy increases outside the system compensate the entropy decreases inside the system. However, if we define ‘‘X-entropy’’ to be the entropy associated with any d...
