MacKappa



  1. The exams were presented in random order in different sessions for each reader. Both radiologists were blinded to the clinical information of the patients or test persons. The κ coefficients were calculated to find the agreement between the two readers, using the MacKappa software module. All κ values were found significant at 5%.
  2. MacKappa is a standalone Macintosh program that calculates general and partial kappa coefficients for nominal data. You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as Frames 4, 1分間英単語 完全版1600 or dvcreatorsUniversity, which might be similar to MacKappa.

Now a days a large number of statistical packages for general purpose and specific purpose are available on internet free of cost and copyright restrictions that can be downloaded and can work offline. However, commercial use of these packages like mixing, editing and publishing without the permission of author is restricted. The only requirement is to quote them properly whenever used.

Basically there are two kinds of free statistical software available on internet. One, which works online (like http://www.health-calc.com works online as calculator calculating BMI, PI etc. on entering the value of height and weight etc.) and other which works offline (non-internet) for stand-alone computing.

Marley Watkins software (Free Downloads) Description Macintosh EXCEL spreadsheet template for performing syndromic profile analysis of Adjustment Scales for Children and Adolescents scores. A 25K self-extracting file. Macintosh EXCEL spreadsheet template that tests the significance of difference between correlations (both independent and dependent). A 25K self-extracting file. A standalone program that calculates general and partial kappa coefficients for nominal data. A standalone program that calculates chronological age when given date of birth and date of test. A standalone program that calculates the Spearman-Brown 'Prophecy' formula that estimates. MacKappa is a FutureBASIC program that operates on Macintosh computers under Mac OS 9. The estimation of interobserver agreement in behavioral assessment.

Many researchers of biomedical or other areas and even statisticians who do not like to purchase popular statistical software and use to work on copied version, may download these free software according to their requirement and perform statistical analysis of data.
