Hi All,

I am using fleiss kappa for inter rater agreement.  Are there any know
issues with Fleiss kappa calculation in R?  Even when I supply mock data
with total agreement among the raters I do not get a kappa value of 1.
instead I am getting negative values.

I am using the irr package version 0.70

Any help is much appreciated.

Mehdi,
Are you by any chance giving the function the agreement matrix rather than the raw data? The kappam.fliess function seems to want the ratings rather than the agreement matrix.
