NAME

Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::right - Statistical library package to calculate right sided Fishers exact test.

SYNOPSIS

Basic Usage

use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::right;

my $rightFisher = Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::right->new();

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

$rightFisher_value = $rightFisher->calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
                                                     n1p=>$n1p,
                                                     np1=>$np1,
                                                     npp=>$npp);

if( ($errorCode = $rightFisher->getErrorCode()))
{
  print STDERR $erroCode." - ".$rightFisher->getErrorMessage();
}
else
{
  print $rightFisher->getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$rightFisher_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   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 fishers exact tests are calculated by fixing the marginal totals and computing the hypergeometric probabilities for all the possible contingency tables,

A right sided test is calculated by adding the probabilities of all the possible two by two contingency tables formed by fixing the marginal totals and changing the value of n11 to greater than or equal to the given value. A right sided Fisher's Exact Test tells us how likely it is to randomly sample a table where n11 is greater than observed. In other words, it tells us how likely it is to sample an observation where the two words are more dependent than currently observed.

Methods

calculateStatistic()

This method calculates the ll 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. $marginal .. Marginal totals for the cobtingency tables $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.
