Cohen's Agreement Coefficients
(Kappas)

Use Cohen's agreement coefficients to measure agreement for two nominal-scaled variables, at least one of the variables is not a two-point scale, no distinction is made between a dependent and an independent variable, and you do not want a penalty if the variables do not have the same distribution. Refer critical ratios for Cohen's kappas to a table of the unit normal curve for statistical testing.

Use TABLES and STATS=KAPPA to compute this statistic. TABLES will print the probability for testing.
