The title of your post although not the text alludes to -kappa- but
that seems quite wrong here. The technology of -concord- (-findit- for
locations) seems a bit better fit but much of it was developed with
measured data, not counted data, in mind.

Poisson modelling would seem a more natural starting point. A minimal
descriptive approach includes plots of A vs B, ln A vs ln B, (ln A -
ln B) vs (ln A + ln B)/2. The last two require all counts to be
positive.

Two individuals (A & B) analysed each sample independently and reported different egg counts presented in the data set as vars acomp, bcomp, and totalcomp = acomp + bcomp. I was wondering whether I could test for agreement and associations between the 2 observers. I will appreciate any help on commands to be used, being a non-proficient Stata user. I use Stata IC v. 10.
