Parameters
----------
data : array_like, 2-Dim
data containing category assignment with subjects in rows and raters
in columns.
n_cat : None or int
If None, then the data is converted to integer categories,
0,1,2,...,n_cat-1. Because of the relabeling only category levels
with non-zero counts are included.
If this is an integer, then the category levels in the data are already
assumed to be in integers, 0,1,2,...,n_cat-1. In this case, the
returned array may contain columns with zero count, if no subject
has been categorized with this level.
Returns
-------
arr : nd_array, (n_rows, n_cat)
Contains counts of raters that assigned a category level to individuals.
Subjects are in rows, category levels in columns.
categories : nd_array, (n_category_levels,)
Contains the category levels.

Parameters
----------
data : array_like, 2-Dim
data containing category assignment with subjects in rows and raters
in columns.
bins : None, int or tuple of array_like
If None, then the data is converted to integer categories,

If bins are a tuple of two array_like, then the bins are directly used
by ``numpy.histogramdd``. This is useful if we want to merge categories.
Returns
-------
arr : nd_array, (n_cat, n_cat)
Contingency table that contains counts of category level with rater1
in rows and rater2 in columns.
Notes
-----
no NaN handling, delete rows with missing values
This works also for more than two raters. In that case the dimension of
the resulting contingency table is the same as the number of raters
instead of 2-dimensional.

def fleiss_kappa(table, method='fleiss'):
"""Fleiss' and Randolph's kappa multi-rater agreement measure
Parameters
----------
table : array_like, 2-D
assumes subjects in rows, and categories in columns. Convert raw data
into this format by using
:func:`statsmodels.stats.inter_rater.aggregate_raters`
method : str
Method 'fleiss' returns Fleiss' kappa which uses the sample margin
to define the chance outcome.
Method 'randolph' or 'uniform' (only first 4 letters are needed)
returns Randolph's (2005) multirater kappa which assumes a uniform
distribution of the categories to define the chance outcome.
Returns
-------
kappa : float
Fleiss's or Randolph's kappa statistic for inter rater agreement
Notes
-----
no variance or hypothesis tests yet
Interrater agreement measures like Fleiss's kappa measure agreement relative
to chance agreement. Different authors have proposed ways of defining
these chance agreements. Fleiss' is based on the marginal sample distribution
of categories, while Randolph uses a uniform distribution of categories as
benchmark. Warrens (2010) showed that Randolph's kappa is always larger or
equal to Fleiss' kappa. Under some commonly observed condition, Fleiss' and
Randolph's kappa provide lower and upper bounds for two similar kappa_like
measures by Light (1971) and Hubert (1977).

def cohens_kappa(table, weights=None, return_results=True, wt=None):
'''Compute Cohen's kappa with variance and equal-zero test
Parameters
----------
table : array_like, 2-Dim
square array with results of two raters, one rater in rows, second
rater in columns
weights : array_like
The interpretation of weights depends on the wt argument.
If both are None, then the simple kappa is computed.
see wt for the case when wt is not None
If weights is two dimensional, then it is directly used as a weight
matrix. For computing the variance of kappa, the maximum of the
weights is assumed to be smaller or equal to one.
TODO: fix conflicting definitions in the 2-Dim case for
wt : {None, str}
If wt and weights are None, then the simple kappa is computed.
If wt is given, but weights is None, then the weights are set to
be [0, 1, 2, ..., k].
If weights is a one-dimensional array, then it is used to construct
the weight matrix given the following options.
wt in ['linear', 'ca' or None] : use linear weights, Cicchetti-Allison
actual weights are linear in the score "weights" difference
wt in ['quadratic', 'fc'] : use linear weights, Fleiss-Cohen
actual weights are squared in the score "weights" difference
wt = 'toeplitz' : weight matrix is constructed as a toeplitz matrix
from the one dimensional weights.
return_results : bool
If True (default), then an instance of KappaResults is returned.
If False, then only kappa is computed and returned.
Returns
-------
results or kappa
If return_results is True (default), then a results instance with all
statistics is returned
If return_results is False, then only kappa is calculated and returned.
Notes
-----
There are two conflicting definitions of the weight matrix, Wikipedia
versus SAS manual. However, the computation are invariant to rescaling
of the weights matrix, so there is no difference in the results.
Weights for 'linear' and 'quadratic' are interpreted as scores for the
categories, the weights in the computation are based on the pairwise
difference between the scores.
Weights for 'toeplitz' are a interpreted as weighted distance. The distance
only depends on how many levels apart two entries in the table are but
not on the levels themselves.
example:
weights = '0, 1, 2, 3' and wt is either linear or toeplitz means that the
weighting only depends on the simple distance of levels.
weights = '0, 0, 1, 1' and wt = 'linear' means that the first two levels
are zero distance apart and the same for the last two levels. This is
the sample as forming two aggregated levels by merging the first two and
the last two levels, respectively.
weights = [0, 1, 2, 3] and wt = 'quadratic' is the same as squaring these
weights and using wt = 'toeplitz'.
