The help file does state that the standard error is returned though
which is what confused me! Sorry for bothering the list about it, thank
you for your response.

You do not need an imaginary dataset, as the official example does not
return the se, either:

ret li

The help file could make this fact clear, I think. BTW, a command
reporting
a whole table inevitably runs into the problem which statistics it
should
return. Just see what -summ- with a -varlist- hands back: The
statistics for
the last variable in that -varlist-. The alternative would be to return
a
-matrix-, of course...

Betreff: st: Non-reported s.e. for kappa
Dear All,
I have been working with kappa statistics and I have come across a
peculiarity that I don't fully understand. Searching the help files
and the
statalist archive did not shed any light on the matter unfortunately.
After running a simple composite kappa on multiple readers (3
categories) I
then type -di r(se)- and obtain nothing! The results have not been
cleared
from memory as typing -di r(kappa)- displays the kappa value. Does
anyone
know why this is?
I am aware that test statistics cannot be calculated when the number
of
ratings per subject vary. Is there something similar happening here?!
I have shown below a snippet of the data and the commands used.
Snippet of
data contains the diagnosis (=1,2, or 3) for 6 readers (id2-id10) on 5
cases. [Done using Stata10 on Windows.]
Thank you for taking the time to read this,
Karen
