Abstract

In this paper we consider the problem of assessing agreement between two raters while the ratings are given separately in 2 - point nominal scale and critically examine some features of Cohen's kappa statistic ( K C ), widely and extensively used in this context. We point out some undesirahle features of K C and, in the process, propose two modified kappa statistics. Properties and features of these statistics are explained with illustrative examples.
