Estimating Scorer Agreement for Nominal Categorization Systems.
Burton, Nancy W.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v41 n4 p953-62 Win 1981
This study was concerned with selecting a measure of scorer agreement for use with the National Assessment of Educational Progress. The simple percent of agreement and Cohen's kappa were compared. It was concluded that Cohen's kappa does not add sufficient information to make its calculation worthwhile. (Author/BW)
