Hi, all.

I've been checking my syntaxes for inter-rater reliability against other syntaxes using the same data set. For example, I've used two SAS macros, MAGREE.SAS and INTER_RATER.MAC. These two and mine for Fleiss kappa provide results for category kappa's with standard errors, significances, and 95% CI's. The results are the same for each macro, but vastly different than the SPSS Python extension, which presents the same standard error for each category kappa. I've checked both the 1971 and 1979 articles by Fleiss, and they confirm the fact that each category standard error is based on data from that category, which of course would make each standard error different in most cases. Just a heads up if you're using the category kappa's from the Python extension. The programming needs revision.
