Agreement measure in two faculty classifications

The objective of this investigation is to evaluate the agreement level in the classification of the university faculty according to the components: study (CICP1) and promotion (CICP2) proposed by Sinha, Ramoni, Orlandoni, Torres y Figueroa (2007). Two categorization schemes are used, with three and four classification categories, respectively. We propose the use of the conditional adjusted kappa coefficient to measure the agreement level for each classification category. This coefficient fulfills the additivity property. It is demonstrated that the coefficient kappa of Cohen can be applied in non classic situations. Results obtained for Sinha, et. al. (2007), is confirmed complementary form in this investigation.
