A goodness‐of‐fit approach to inference procedures for the kappa statistic: Confidence interval construction, significance‐testing and sample size estimation
Abstract
We propose a new procedure for constructing a confidence interval about the kappa statistic in the case of two raters and a dichotomous outcome. The procedure is based on a chi‐square goodness‐of‐fit test as applied to a model frequently used for clustered binary data. The procedure provides coverage levels that are accurate in samples of smaller size than those required for other procedures. The procedure also has use for significance‐testing and the planning of corresponding sample size requirements.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
