NAME

sort-trigrams.pl - Sort output from count.pl or statistic.pl in descending order based on frequency or association score

SYNOPSIS

Sorts a given trigram file in the descending order of the trigram scores.

USGAE

sort-trigrams.pl [OPTIONS] TRIGRAM

INPUT

Required Arguments:

TRIGRAM

Should be a trigram input file to be sorted. A TRIGRAM file created by count.pl or statistic.pl is already sorted in the descending order of the trigram scores. A TRIGRAM output of combig.pl or huge-combine.pl is however un-sorted and could be sorted using this program.

All lines in TRIGRAM file should be formatted as -

 word1<>word2<>word3<>n111 n1pp np1p npp1 n11p n1p1 np11

Or as -

 word1<>word2<>word3<>rank score n111 n1pp np1p npp1 n11p n1p1 np11

Optional Arguments:

--frequency F

Trigrams with counts/scores less than F will not be displayed. The ignored trigrams are however not removed from the sample and their counts are still counted in the total trigrams and in the marginal word frequencies. In other words, the behavior of this option is like count.pl's --frequency option.

--remove L

Trigrams with counts/scores less than L are completely removed from the sample. Their counts do not affect any marginal totals. In other words, this option has the same effect as count.pl's --remove option.

Other Options :

--help

Displays this message.

--version

Displays the version information.

OUTPUT

sort-trigrams.pl shows given TRIGRAMs in the descending order of their counts/ scores.
