Cohen's kappa
Also called kappa statistic, cohens kappa
Cohen's kappa is a statistical measure of agreement between two independent reviewers, correcting for the agreement expected purely by chance, the specific number typically used to report inter-rater reliability.
In context
You'll usually need this when a reporting guideline or committee expects a specific statistic, not just a description, of how well your reviewers agreed.
