NAME

Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::phi - Perl module that implements Phi coefficient
measure for bigrams.

SYNOPSIS

Basic Usage

  use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::phi;
  my $npp = 60; my $n1p = 20; my $np1 = 20;  my $n11 = 10;
  $phi_value = calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
                                      n1p=>$n1p,
                                      np1=>$np1,
                                      npp=>$npp);
  if( ($errorCode = getErrorCode()))
  {
    print STDERR $errorCode." - ".getErrorMessage()."\n"";
  }
  else
  {
    print getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$phi_value."\n"";
  }

DESCRIPTION

This function computes the the square of the traditional formulation of the Phi Coefficient.

Assume that the frequency count data associated with a bigram <word1><word2> is stored in a 2x2 contingency table:

          word2   ~word2
  word1    n11      n12 | n1p
 ~word1    n21      n22 | n2p
           --------------
           np1      np2   npp

where n11 is the number of times <word1><word2> occur together, and n12 is the number of times <word1> occurs with some word other than word2, and n1p is the number of times in total that word1 occurs as the first word in a bigram.

 PHI^2 = ((n11 * n22) - (n21 * n21))^2/(n1p * np1 * np2 * n2p)

Note that the value of PHI^2 is equivalent to Pearson's Chi-Squared test multiplied by the sample size, that is:

 Chi-Squared = npp * PHI^2

We use PHI^2 rather than PHI since PHI^2 was employed for collocation identification in:

calculateStatistic() - method to calculate the Phi Coefficient

INPUT PARAMS : $count_values .. Reference of an hash containing
the count values computed by the
count.pl program.

RETURN VALUES : $phi .. phi value for this bigram.

getStatisticName() - Returns the name of this statistic

INPUT PARAMS : none

RETURN VALUES : $name .. Name of the measure.
