In ecospat: Spatial Ecology Miscellaneous Methods

Cohen's Kappa

Description

Calculates Cohen's kappa and variance estimates, within a 95 percent confidence interval.

Usage

    ecospat.cohen.kappa(xtab)

Arguments

xtab	A symmetric agreement table.

Details

The argument xtab is a contingency table. xtab <- table(Pred >= th, Sp.occ)

Value

A list with elements 'kap', 'vark', 'totn' and 'ci' is returned. 'kap' is the cohen's kappa, 'vark' is the variance estimate within a 95 percent confidence interval, 'totn' is the number of plots and 'ci' is the confidence interval.
