Everyone agrees there are problems with currently available agreement coefficients.
Cohen's weighted Kappa does not extend to multiple raters, and does not adjust for both …

Agreement analysis is an important tool that has been widely used in medical, social,
biological, physical and behavioral sciences. Though there are many different ways of …

The Cohen (1960) kappa interrater agreement coefficient has been criticized for penalizing
raters (eg, diagnosticians) for their a priori agreement about the base rates of categories (eg …

Most measures of agreement are chance-corrected. They differ in three dimensions: their
definition of chance agreement, their choice of disagreement function, and how they handle …

The third edition of this book was very well received by researchers working in many
different fields of research. The use of that text also gave these researchers the opportunity …

Widely-used indexes of inter-rater or inter-method agreement, π and κ sometimes produce
unexpected results called the paradoxes of kappa. For example, prior research obtained …

In 1960, Cohen introduced the kappa coefficient to measure chance‐corrected nominal
scale agreement between two raters. Since then, numerous extensions and generalizations …

In Study 1 of this two-part investigation, we present a “central tendency approach” and
procedures for assessing overall interrater agreement across multiple groups. We define …

Agreement between raters on a categorical scale is not only a subject of scientific research
but also a problem frequently encountered in practice. Whenever a new scale is developed …

Agreement among at least two evaluators is an issue of prime importance to statisticians,
clinicians, epidemiologists, psychologists, and many other scientists. Measuring …
