kappa statistics

How to Improve the Use of Kappa in Epidemiology?

To improve the use of kappa statistics:
- Use Weighted Kappa: For ordinal data, weighted kappa can be more informative as it considers the degree of disagreement.
- Report Confidence Intervals: Providing confidence intervals for kappa can give a better understanding of the precision of the agreement.
- Consider Multiple Raters: Extending kappa to multiple raters (Fleiss' kappa) can be useful in studies involving more than two raters.
