On a discrete distribution associated with the statistical assessment of nominal scale agreement

摘要: Abstract A new measure of agreement is introduced to and assess the extent between two judges or raters in assigning n subjects L unordered qualitative categories. The statistical analysis entails an interesting discrete conditional distribution, provides example ‘conditional’ inference ‘exact’ tests significance. In fact, related log odds ratio a 2 × contingency table its Fisher's (1935) exact table.
