Hi All:
Could anyone point me to a package that can calculate stratified
kappa? My
design is like this, 4 raters, 30 types of diagnosis scores, 20
patients.
Each rater will rate each patient for each type of diagnosis score.
The
rater's value is nominal.
I know I can measure the agreement between raters for each type of
diagnosis
score, e.g., calculate out 30 kappa values. My problem is I want to
have an
overall agreement measure (a single value and its significance over
chance).
Could anyone help me with this?
I am not a statistician or a psychometrician, so have no experience
with any of these packages. A google search on produced this link:

msg89858.html ... and looking in package psy in CRAN, I see
lkappa(), Light’s kappa for n raters, which seems to meet your
specifications.
The concord package may have the facilities but I am not able to tell
from the documentation. Perhaps Jim Lemon can be queried.
