This blog post should answer your question. If not, please let me know. In short, Krippendorff’s alpha can indeed be negative.

But I think it's impossible! Is it a computing mistake or a problem with my data ? Thanks Hello,

The only question I have is whether your calculations include the bootstrapping algorithm described by Hayes & Krippendorff (2007). Could you clarify this in your FAQ's? This would help me decide whether to actually put in the extra work to run the macro in SPSS. Thanks so much! This is an excellent resource – free and easy to use!

If anyone else is interested in weighted kappa or other features, please leave a comment so that I can gauge demand. Andrew,

SPSS does not calculate weighted kappa, do you? Thanks Andrew I am interested in the difference between analyzing the data for simple “matches” versus “no-match” and the weighted Kappa, that considers how far away are the misses.
