Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::tscore - Perl module that implements T-score measure of association for bigrams.
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)
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.
INPUT PARAMS : none
RETURN VALUES : $name .. Name of the measure.
