Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::tscore(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::tscore(3)

Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::tscore - Perl module that implements T-score measure of association for bigrams.

Basic Usage

  use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::tscore;

  my $npp = 60; my $n1p = 20; my $np1 = 20;  my $n11 = 10;

  $tscore_value = calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
                                      n1p=>$n1p,
                                      np1=>$np1,
                                      npp=>$npp);

  if( ($errorCode = getErrorCode()))
  {
    print STDERR $errorCode." - ".getErrorMessage()."\n"";
  }
  else
  {
    print getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$tscore_value."\n"";
  }

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.

The T-score is defined as a ratio of difference between the observed and the expected mean to the variance of the sample. Note that this is a variant of the standard t-test that was proposed for use in the identification of collocations in large samples of text.

Thus, the T-score is defined as follows:

    m11 = n1p * np1 / npp

    T-score = (n11 - m11)/sqrt(n11)
calculateStatistic() - method to calculate the tscore Coefficient
INPUT PARAMS : $count_values .. Reference of an hash containing the count values computed by the count.pl program.

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

getStatisticName() - Returns the name of this statistic
INPUT PARAMS : none

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