Hello Stata Users

I am trying to calculate some Kappa values for two raters who have each rated the same 10 case notes to produce a mental health diagnosis. Their diagnosis can be one of 16 possible categories. Obviously not all 16 categories are used, so I specify a weight matrix to let stata know there are 16 possible categories that could have been chosen.

However I am unsure stata has taken this into account as when I run the analysis I get the same kappa statistic with or without the weight matrix/absolute command specified (output below).

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Is stata taking into account the full possibility of all 16 categories?

(I realise 10 is a small number of subjects, but this particular study is resource limited).

Thanks

James
