Hi,

I have used McNemar's test for calculating significance in the train set/
test set scenario, evaluating for accuracy and weighted f-measure across
labels. Here's a good calculator:

You need to input 4 numbers:
a: # times where both system 1 & system 2 are correct
b: # times where system 1 is correct & system 2 is incorrect
c: # times where system 2 is correct & system 1 is incorrect
d: # times where both are incorrect

Cheers,
Noura
