calculating Kappa from kappa tables

calculating Kappa from kappa tables

by Laura Koth -

hello everyone,

i attempted to use stata to complete the Kappa homework, but realized that the example I worked through in section had provided the observer data in a different format (columns of each observer responses) than what we were given in the homework (arranged in tables). 

I decided it would be cumbersome to recreate the observer results from the tables in order to use stata to complete the questions, but thought I would ask in this forum to make sure I'm not missing something. 

thanks!

I ran into the same problem and ended up using the website tool for the homework. It was still bothering me though so I looked it up and found this useful article: https://www.reed.edu/psychology/stata/gs/tutorials/outcomeonly.html


Using these instructions, I was able to successfully run the stats. It's an easy way to input a table into the proper format. Here are the commands that I used:

tabi 35 6 2 2 \ 34 15 4 2 \ 0 0 4 1 \ 1 19 0 25, replace

br /// Look at your dataset and you will see that it was inputted in the proper format

kap row col [freq=pop], wgt(w)


Hope that helps!
