WordStat 8软件新增了偏差表功能，允许用户查看不同类别变量值下词语、短语或主题的使用频率差异。通过该功能，用户可以更直观地分析不同群体或类别在文本使用上的差异，例如，在2008年美国总统竞选演讲中，不同候选人对“伊拉克”一词的使用频率。偏差表易于使用，只需在WordStat中进行词频或短语提取，然后点击工具栏中的交叉表按钮，再点击偏差表图标即可。用户还可以通过右键点击表格中的词语，查看其在文本中的所有引用，或生成图表、删除词语或复制表格。该功能已包含在WordStat 8更新版本8.0.7中，用户可以免费下载更新。

We have introduced a special new feature to WordStat 8. This is a brand new feature that we believe you will find quite useful. We are calling it the Deviation Table. It allows you to see which words, phrases or topics are used more or less by different values of a categorical variable. You can also think of it as another way to view the Crosstab feature.

The Deviation Table is simple to use. All you do is perform a word frequency or phrase extraction in WordStat. Click on the Cross Tab button in the toolbar and then click on the Deviation Table Icon in the toolbar that will appear below the main tool bar. This is the new icon for the Deviation table 

 

 

A table will appear that shows you the words, phrases or topics that are used by different values of a categorical variable. In this case I have used a collection of speeches from the 2008 US Presidential campaign. I have asked the software to show me 20 of the most characteristic words for each of the candidates.  You can see the selection box for the number of words in the upper left of the table. I have highlighted the word Iraq. In this collection of speeches, Iraq is used more by Biden, less by Clinton, less by Thompson and Romney.

 

With this feature, you may search for the words in the text. Right-clicking on Iraq in the Biden column will give me all the references where Biden uses the word Iraq.

 

 

You can also right-click to chart the words or phrases

 

You can right-click to delete a word or copy the table as a Tab Delimited, HTML or Bitmap.

The new Deviation Table has been released as part of the WordStat 8, update 8.0.7.
