Abstract
The paper presents inequalities between four descriptive statistics that can be expressed in the form [P−E(P)]/[1−E(P)], where P is the observed proportion of agreement of a k×k table with identical categories, and E(P) is a function of the marginal probabilities. Scott’s π is an upper bound of Goodman and Kruskal’s λ and a lower bound of both Bennett et al. S and Cohen’s κ. We introduce a concept for the marginal probabilities of the k×k table called weak marginal symmetry. Using the rearrangement inequality, it is shown that Bennett et al. S is an upper bound of Cohen’s κ if the k×k table is weakly marginal symmetric.
