Abstract:

Measurements of agreement are used to assess the reproducibility of a new assay or instrument, the acceptability of a new or generic process, methodology or method comparison. Kappa and weighted kappa are used when the responses are nomical and ordinal, respectively. We plan to develop a new method called multivariate kappa. Its asymptotic distribution will be given as well as its small sample performance compared with kappa and weighted kappa.
