Re: st: New to Stata; wish to calculate sample size for kappa

[volsmd99 <volsmd99@gmail.com>]

My goal is to calculate sample size for my scenario. I should mention that in addition to being new to stata, i am also new to kappa.

For my case, I had the raters look at a video for which they could classify their opinion into three categories. Their choices were 0, 1, or 2. 

My Ko value is 0.80 (the level at which I considered Kappa to be significant)  and my KL is 0.60 (minimum threshold value). Supposing a 95% confidence interval, I wish to calculate sample size. 

I have come across the package sskdlg but it seems to only allow sample size calculation with a binary outcome and with only two raters.

thanks
