Generalization of the Kappa coeficient for ordinal categorical data, multiple observers and incomplete designs

Year: 1999

Type: article

Abstract: This paper presents a generalization of the kappa coefficient for multiple observers and incomplete designs.This generalization involves ordinal categorical data and includes weights which permit pondering the severity of disagreement.A generalization for incomplete designs of the kappa coefficient based on explicit definitions of agreement is also proposed.Both generalizations are illustrated with data from a medical diagnosis pilot study.
