(y1, y2, *, labels=None, weights=None, sample_weight=None)[source]¶ Cohen’s kappa: a statistic that measures inter-annotator agreement.
This function computes Cohen’s kappa [1], a score that expresses the level of agreement between two annotators on a classification problem. It is defined as
\[\kappa = (p_o - p_e) / (1 - p_e)\]where \(p_o\) is the empirical probability of agreement on the label assigned to any sample (the observed agreement ratio), and \(p_e\) is the expected agreement when both annotators assign labels randomly. \(p_e\) is estimated using a per-annotator empirical prior over the class labels [2].

- Parameters
- y1array of shape (n_samples,)
Labels assigned by the first annotator.
- y2array of shape (n_samples,)
Labels assigned by the second annotator. The kappa statistic is symmetric, so swapping
y1
andy2
doesn’t change the value.- labelsarray-like of shape (n_classes,), default=None
List of labels to index the matrix. This may be used to select a subset of labels. If None, all labels that appear at least once in
y1
ory2
are used.- weights{‘linear’, ‘quadratic’}, default=None
Weighting type to calculate the score. None means no weighted; “linear” means linear weighted; “quadratic” means quadratic weighted.
- sample_weightarray-like of shape (n_samples,), default=None
Sample weights.
- Returns
- kappafloat
The kappa statistic, which is a number between -1 and 1. The maximum value means complete agreement; zero or lower means chance agreement.
