Association score functions

Description

Functions to calculate different collocation association scores between a node (target word) and words in a window around the it. The functions are primarily used by collocationScoreQuery().

pmi: pointwise mutual information

mi2: pointwise mutual information squared (Daille 1994), also referred to as mutual dependency (Thanopoulos et al. 2002)

mi3: pointwise mutual information cubed (Daille 1994), also referred to as log-frequency biased mutual dependency) (Thanopoulos et al. 2002)

logDice: log-Dice coefficient, a heuristic measure that is popular in lexicography (Rychlý 2008)

ll: log-likelihood (Dunning 1993) using Stefan Evert's (2004) simplified implementation

Usage

defaultAssociationScoreFunctions()

pmi(O1, O2, O, N, E, window_size)

mi2(O1, O2, O, N, E, window_size)

mi3(O1, O2, O, N, E, window_size)

logDice(O1, O2, O, N, E, window_size)

ll(O1, O2, O, N, E, window_size)

Arguments

O1	observed absolute frequency of node
O2	observed absolute frequency of collocate
O	observed absolute frequency of collocation
N	corpus size
E	expected absolute frequency of collocation (already adjusted to window size)
window_size	total window size around node (left neighbour count + right neighbour count)

Value

         association score
