Note: κ^ denotes the kappa statistic assuming independence.

ASE(κ^) denotes the asymptotic standard error of kappa statistics assuming independence.

CIS denotes the 95% confidence interval based on normal approximation assuming independence.

κ^B denotes the bootstrap kappa statistic.

SE^(κ^B) denotes the bootstrap standard error estimate of bootstrap kappa statistic.

CIBS denotes the 95% bootstrap confidence interval based on normal approximation.

CIBP denotes the 95% bootstrap confidence interval based on percentiles.

CIBBCa denotes the 95% bootstrap confidence interval based on BCa.

The number of bootstrap replication B=1,000.

Analysis was performed using R (Version 2.15.1).
