NAME

Text::NSP::Measures::2D::MI - Perl module that provides error checks for Loglieklihood, Total Mutual Information, Pointwise Mutual Information and Poisson-Stirling Measure.

SYNOPSIS

Basic Usage

use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::MI::ll;

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

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

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

DESCRIPTION

This module is the base class for the Loglikelihood, Total Mutual Information and the Pointwise Mutual Information measures. All these measure are similar. This module provides error checks specific for these measures, it also implements the computations that are common to these measures.

Log-Likelihood measure is computed as

Log-Likelihood = 2 * [n11 * log(n11/m11) + n12 * log(n12/m12) + n21 * log(n21/m21) + n22 * log(n22/m22)]

Total Mutual Information

TMI = (1/npp)*[n11 * log(n11/m11)/log 2 + n12 * log(n12/m12)/log 2 + n21 * log(n21/m21)/log 2 + n22 * log(n22/m22)/log 2]

Pointwise Mutual Information

PMI = log (n11/m11)/log 2

Poisson Stirling Measures

PS = n11*(log (n11/m11)-1)

All these methods use the ratio of the observed values to expected values, for computations, and thus have common error checks, sothey have been grouped togrther.

Methods

getValues() - This method calls the computeMarginalTotals(), computeObservedValues() and the computeExpectedValues() methods to compute the observed and expected values. It checks these values for any errors that might cause the Loglikelihood, TMI & PMI measures to fail.

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

RETURN VALUES : 1/undef ..returns '1' to indicate success and an undefined(NULL) value to indicate faliure.

computePMI() - Computes the pmi of a given observed and expected value pair.

INPUT PARAMS : $n ..Observed value $m ..Expected value

RETURN VALUES : log(n/m) ..the log of the ratio of observed value to expected value.
