dc.description.abstract | With two judges and a two-point rating scale, the test statistic for Kappa is the same as Pearson's chi-square statistic applied to the 2 × 2 table of paired observations. This equivalence allows a quick test of the null hypothesis of no agreement, as Pearson's chisquare statistic is much less cumbersome to compute than the Kappa statistic and its variance. A simple formula for the null hypothesis variance is also derived. | en_US |
