ci.kappa: Confidence interval for two kappa reliability coefficients

In statpsych: Statistical Methods for Psychologists

Confidence interval for two kappa reliability coefficients

Description

Computes confidence intervals for the intraclass kappa coefficient and Cohen's kappa coefficient with two dichotomous ratings.

Usage

ci.kappa(alpha, f00, f01, f10, f11)

Arguments

alpha	alpha level for 1-alpha confidence
f00	number of objects rated y = 0 and x = 0
f01	number of objects rated y = 0 and x = 1
f10	number of objects rated y = 1 and x = 0
f11	number of objects rated y = 1 and x = 1

Value

Returns a 2-row matrix. The results in row 1 are for the intraclass kappa. The results in row 2 are for Cohen's kappa. The columns are:

• Estimate - estimate of interrater reliability

• SE - standard error

• LL - lower limit of the confidence interval

• UL - upper limit of the confidence interval
