The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

PARADISE: A Framework for Evaluating Spoken Dialogue Agents (1997, methodology): “…use of decision theory to create this objective structure, other novel aspects of PARADISE include the use of the Kappa coefficient (Carletta, 1996; Siegel and Castellan, 1988) to operationalize task success, and the use of linear regression to quantify the relative contribution of the success and…”
The UCR time series archive (2018, methodology): “There are two alternative hypothesis tests that one could go for, a paired two-sample t-test [36] for evidence of a significant difference in mean accuracies or a Wilcoxon signed-rank test [37], [38] for differences in median accuracies.”
The Role of Perceived Quality Risk in Pricing Remanufactured Products (2017, methodology): “In each category, a Siegel and Castellan bias-corrected Cohen’s Kappa estimator showed a good ﬁt, other than for one infrequently observed category (Hallgren 2012, Siegel and Castellan 1988).”
Researcher Bias: The Use of Machine Learning in Software Defect Prediction (2014, background): “The square of the MCC (or phi) is approximately a chi-squared distribution with one degree of freedom [4].”
