Are there functions available computing the gamma-correlation for ordinal 
scaled variables and kappa-accuracy for nominal variables,
thanks, Mark

Mark,

Please use a meaningful subject.

1. For Gamma:

   A. See the rcorr.cens() function in Frank Harrell's Hmisc package on
      CRAN

   B. See my post here:
      http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/help/04/02/0051.html

   C. See the partialAssociations() function in Jens Henrik Badsberg's
      CoCo package on CRAN.


2. For Kappa:

   A. See the cohen.kappa() function in Jim Lemon's concord package on
      CRAN

   B. See David Meyer's Kappa() function in the vcd package on CRAN

   C. See the kappa* functions in Matthias Gamer's irr package on CRAN

   D. See the *kappa functions in Bruno Falissard's psy package on CRAN


HTH,
