Comparison of several goodness-of-fit tests for the kappa statistic based on exact power and coverage probability.
We present a general approach based on chi-square goodness-of-fit tests for performing tests of significance about the kappa statistic. We make recommendations for the particular goodness-of-fit test to use under different situations. We also compare the test statistics in terms of the generated confidence intervals about the kappa statistic.
