NAME
Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::twotailed - Statistical library package to calculate twotailed sided Fishers exact test.
SYNOPSIS
Basic Usage
use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::twotailed;
my $twotailedFisher = Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::twotailed->new();
my $npp = 60; my $n1p = 20; my $np1 = 20; my $n11 = 10;
$twotailedFisher_value = $twotailedFisher->calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
n1p=>$n1p,
np1=>$np1,
npp=>$npp);
if( ($errorCode = $twotailedFisher->getErrorCode()))
{
print STDERR $erroCode." - ".$twotailedFisher->getErrorMessage();
}
else
{
print $twotailedFisher->getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$twotailedFisher_value;
}DESCRIPTION
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 nppwhere 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 fishers exact tests are calculated by fixing the marginal totals and computing the hypergeometric probabilities for all the possible contingency tables,
A twotailed fishers test is calculated by adding the probabilities of all the contingency tables with probabilities less than the probability of the observed table. The twotailed fishers test tells us how likely it would be to observe an contingency table which is less prpbable than the current table.
Methods
- calculateStatistic() - This method calculates the twotailed Fisher value
-
INPUT PARAMS : $count_values .. Reference of an array containing the count valuescomputed by the count.pl program.
RETURN VALUES : $observed .. Observed contingency table counts. $probability .. Reference to a hash containg hypergeometric probabilities for all the possible contingency tables
- getStatisticName() - Returns the name of this statistic
-
INPUT PARAMS : none
RETURN VALUES : $name .. Name of the measure.
