A finite-sample inferential framework for the weighted kappa coefficient (FWKC) in binary diagnostic agreement studies

The weighted kappa coefficient κ(c), where c is the relative loss of a false-negative result, summarizes beyond-chance agreement between a binary diagnostic test and a reference standard. Established intervals for κ(c) may be unreliable in small samples and under prevalence imbalance. We developed and evaluated a...
