Percept Mot Skills. 2005 Oct;101(2):468-72. doi: 10.2466/pms.101.2.468-472.

Abstract

An algorithm and associated FORTRAN program are provided for the exact variance of weighted kappa. Program VARKAP provides the weighted kappa test statistic, the exact variance of weighted kappa, a Z score, one-sided lower- and upper-tail N(0,1) probability values, and the two-tail N(0,1) probability value.
