Abstract

The accuracy of the large sample standard error of weighted kappa appropriate to the non-null case was studied by computer simulation. Results indicate that only moderate sample sizes are required to test the hypothesis that two independently derived estimates of weighted kappa are equal. However, in most instances the minimal sample sizes required for setting confidence limits around a single value of weighted kappa are inordinately large. An alternative, but as yet untested procedure for setting confidence limits, is suggested as being potentially more accurate.
