st: Agreement statistic, gold standard not binary

[Marcus Fischer]

How can I estimate  and compare two diagnostic tests� accuracies with
a gold standard when the diagnostic test scales and the scale of the
gold standard are ordinal variables (each 0 to 3) ?
Thanks

Not quite sure what you are aiming for, but try -kappa-

kappa - ok.  But how can I compare whether two kappas are significantly
different from each other ?
