The J-Index as a Measure of Nominal Scale Response Agreement

Svants Janson

Some characteristics of Hubert's Gcy, as a measure of nominal scale response agreement, are shown, including the characteristic that in a contingency table with equal frequencies its value will normally not be zero. By making a slight modification of its definition, some of these characteristics can be eliminated. As another alternative, the J-index is suggested. It is closely related to Gcy but does not have the same problematic characteristics. Some asymptotic variance formulas for the J-index are given, together with a numerical example.
