Kappa statistic evaluation in SPSS
SPSS syntax available:
- [:FAQ/kappa/kappans:Non-square tables where one rater does not give all possible ratings]
- [:FAQ/kappa/multiple:More than 2 raters]
- [:FAQ/ad:An inter-rater measure based on Euclidean distances]
Note: Reliability as defined by correlation coefficients (such as Kappa) requires variation in the scores to acheive a determinate result. If you have a program which produces a determinate result when the scores of one of the coders is constant, the bug is in that program, not in SPSS. Each rater must give at least two ratings.

There is also a weighted kappa which allows different weights to be attached to misclassifications. Warrens (2011) shows that weighted kappa is an example of a more general test of randomness.
