    How is kappa calculated in SPSS?



    I am working on an analysis for data from a clinical trial. I have 2 sets of 60 dichotomous variables, each from a different rater, and I want to measure interrater reliability using kappa. I'm not sure how to calculate kappa in SPSS. Can anyone shed some light?

    In case it helps anyone else, I answered my own question:

    CROSSTABS
    /TABLES=rater1_variable1 BY rater2_variable1
    /FORMAT= AVALUE TABLES
    /STATISTIC=KAPPA
    /CELLS= COUNT
    /COUNT ROUND CELL .
