     See the paper "Kappa Statistics for Multiple Raters Using
Categorical Classifications" by Annette Green of Westat in the
SUGI 22 (1997) Proceedings.  (Paul, if you don't have easy access
to this and would like a PDF document, please let me know.)

I'm looking for references for assessing inter-rater reliability
for more than 2 raters.
 
When using more than two raters, must you avoid using the
same rater in more than one pair?
 
Thanks,
Paul Robertson
