Question

2. A study was conducted to compare two diagnostic methods, say, Method-I and Method-II. The following table shows the classification of the presence of infection on a 5-point Likert Scale (none, mild, moderate, severe and extreme):

Method-II Method-I
None Mild Moderate Severe Extreme
None 89 5 16 2 4
Mild 36 3 15 6 2
Moderate 20 4 22 6 1
Severe 14 2 37 18 16
Extreme 4 1 16 23 50

We are asked to compute the simple (unweighted) and weighted Kappa statistics manually for a 5×5 table comparing two diagnostic methods. Let’s solve it step by step. --- ### Step 1: Organize the table The observed frequencies (O_{ij}) are: | Method-II \ Method-I | None | Mild | Moderate | Severe | Extreme | Row sum | | -------------------- | ---- | ---- | -------- | ------ | ------- | ------- | | None | 89 | 5 | 16 | 2 | 4 | 116 | | Mild | 36 | 3 | 15 | 6 | 2 | 62 | | Moderate | 20 | 4 | 22 | 6 | 1 | 53 | | Severe | 14 | 2 | 37 | 18 | 16 | 87 | | Extreme | 4 | 1 | 16 | 23 | 50 | 94 | | Column sum | 163 | 15 | 106 | 55 | 73 | 412 | Total observations (N) = 412 --- ### Step 2: Compute simple (unweighted) Kappa The formula for simple Kappa: [ \kappa = \frac{P_o - P_e}{1 - P_e} ] Where: * (P_o =) proportion of observed agreement * (P_e =) proportion of expected agreement by _________ _____ ______ ______ ___ ________ ____ _________ __________ ____.
