Abstract: The command kapci calculates 100(1 - alpha) percent confidence intervals for the kappa statistic using an analytical method in the case of dichotomous variables or bootstrap for more complex situations. For instance, kapci allows estimating CI f or polychotomous variables using weighted kappa or for cases in which there are more than 2 raters/replications. Copyright 2004 by StataCorp LP.
