NAME

Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::x2 - Perl module that implements Pearson's chi squared measure of association for bigrams.

SYNOPSIS

Basic Usage

use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::CHI::x2;

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

$x2_value = calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
                                    n1p=>$n1p,
                                    np1=>$np1,
                                    npp=>$npp);

if( ($errorCode = getErrorCode()))
{
  print STDERR $errorCode." - ".getErrorMessage()."\n"";
}
else
{
  print getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$x2_value."\n"";
}

DESCRIPTION

Pearson's Chi-squred test measures the devitation between the observed data and what would be expected if <word1> and <word2> were independent. The higher the score, the less evidence there is in favor of concluding that the words are independent.

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 expected values for the internal cells are calculated by taking the product of their associated marginals and dividing by the sample size, for example:

       np1 * n1p
m11=   ---------
         npp

Then the deviation between observed and expected values for each internal cell is computed to arrive at the Pearson's Chi-Squared test value:

Pearson's Chi-Squared = 2 * [((n11 - m11)/m11)^2 + ((n12 - m12)/m12)^2 +
                             ((n21 - m21)/m21)^2 + ((n22 -m22)/m22)^2]
calculateStatistic() - method to calculate the Chi-squared value.

INPUT PARAMS : $count_values .. Reference of an hash containing the count values computed by the count.pl program.

RETURN VALUES : $x2 .. x2 value for this bigram.

getStatisticName() - Returns the name of this statistic

INPUT PARAMS : none

RETURN VALUES : $name .. Name of the measure.
