Hi, everyone

Im an undergraduate student in University Science of Malaysia, major in Applied Statistics.
I need to do my final year project and the title is:

To formulate an Excel worksheet for Measurement System Analysis on attribute data using Kappa Analysis.I dont know how to do it. Thus, I hope that you can help me and provide me some information or idea how to do it. Thanks!

thanks a lot!!

There is a good article on KAPPA analysis in Quality Progress, May 1995.

hi Miner,

Quality Progress?? is tat a book??who is the editor of tis book??

veness

Hi veness,

are you familiar with the calculation of the kappa statistic? It's a measurement for the agreement among variables, so for a MSA-study it could be used to find significant differences between appraiser decisions.

You could find the formulas and a description e. g. in Joaquim P. Marques de Sá [2003]: "Applied Statistics using SPSS, STATISTICA and MATLAB", Springer, ISBN 3540011560, p. 61 ff. (Although it deals with statistic-software, there are formulas for all methods and thus you could make your own excel-version).

Hope this helps,

Barbara

hi Miner,

Quality Progress?? is tat a book??who is the editor of tis book??

Quality Progress is a publication of ASQ (American Society for Quality) at www.asq.org. You should be able to obtain a reprint of the article, which covers KAPPA and ICC (Intra-Correlation Analysis). Use KAPPA for attribute studies that are Good/Bad, and ICC for attribute studies that have a scale or range of possible values from worst to best.

The full name of the article is "When Quality is a Matter of Taste, Use Reliabilty Indexes" by David Futrell, in Quality Progress, May 1995, pp 81-86.

hi, Miner

can you send me the article "When Quality is a Matter of Taste, Use Reliabilty Indexes" by David Futrell, in Quality Progress, May 1995, pp 81-86 as a attachment because im not a member of ASQ?
thanks for your help!!

Try this site out. It has been recommended many times here for statistical questions.

Sorry. I do not want to run afoul of copyright laws by making it publicly available. The article can be downloaded free from ASQ by ASQ members. Some professors are ASQ members, and use for educational purposes should not infringe copyright protection.

Try these publicly available sites. The information that you need should be here. However, the ASQ article presents in a clearer fashion.

Several weeks ago I have attached an Excel sheet for calculating attribute MSA via kappa analysis.
Since you are new here I have attached it again.

best regards and lots of success,
Antoine

Antoine,

wat language is used in this attachment?? In English??

Veness

I checked again, and I did sent the english version of the file.

Or do I miss your point here?

Best regards,

Antoine

Antoine,

yup, i received the file in english just now..Thanks a lot..:-)
i will use this format to fix my data..

veness

hi everyone,

i hav some inquiries here that what is the uses / objective of kappa analysis in the industry. the kappa analysis is very important in the industry?? Can you provide some information/website for me...Thanks!!

Thanks a lot!!

veness

The use of the kappa index is to have an indication of the degree of thrust between observations of different operators.
In the MSA manual the kappa between 3 operators and the reference value is calculated.
The results are the kappa between A-B; A-C; B-C and A-Ref; B-Ref; C-Ref.
The kappa has to be 0.75 to have a good result.
Look into the MSA manual for more details, IMO it is explained very well.

If you need more information I would suggest a search here ( lots of info ) or a google on kappa. You will find lots of things.

Afterwards if you have still questions just come back.

Best regards,

Antoine

i know it but im still dono the uses of kappa analysis in industry..is it vy important in industry?
