<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas">DKPro Statistics is a collection of open-licensed statistical tools written in Java. The software library is divided into the following modules:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas">* <b>DKPro Agreement</b> (dkpro-statistics-agreement) is a module for computing multiple inter-rater agreement measures using a shared interface and data model. Based on this model, the software
allows for analyzing coding (i.e., assigning categories to fixed items) and unitizing setups (i.e., segmenting the data into codable units). The software has been recently described in a COLING 2014 demo paper (see below).

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas">* <b>DKPro Significance</b> (dkpro-statistics-significance) is a module for assessing statistical significance.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas">There has been a major revision of the software library. It has been converted into a Maven multi-module project, such that the individual modules can be independently used.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Consolas">In the agreement module, all agreement measures have been fundamentally restructured. We have added new measures for computing Randolph's kappa and Hubert's kappa as well as Krippendorff's
alpha_U measure for analyzing unitizing setups. All measures work with a novel shared data model. They have been tested on a wide range of examples from the scientific literature. Multiple diagnostic devices are now available in the software. The changes in
the agreement module are described in more detailed within our COLING demo paper (see below).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
