Effect of the number of non-conforming samples on the Kappa indicator values

Abstract

Evaluate the quality of this measurement system is possible by using multiple methods, which are described in the methodology guides for evaluation of the measurement system quality. Within these methods, values of different indicators are evaluated. This paper deals with the cross tabulation method and foremost Kappa indicator. More specifically is examined the effect of the number of used nonconforming samples on explanatory power of this indicator. The effect on the kappa values is examined from several aspects that must be taken into account during evaluation of the quality of measurement system for attributive quality characteristics.
