Stephen
Sorry to be late onto this. I had to do an assignment on kappa as part of my
MSc. The best paper I read was Cohen's original. I've attached the main part
of the document which gives a fairly comprehensive review of kappa. It's in
Word (Office 97) format. Hope this is helpful....
NB I have NOT posted the Word file to the list - just to Stephen - but if
anybody wants a 2 page summary on kappa - please let me know
