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

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.

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.
