NAME

tmi3.pm

SYNOPSIS

Statistical library package to calculate the true mutual information for trigrams. This package should be used with statistic.pl and rank.pl.

DESCRIPTION

Note that the true mutual information value is distinct from pointwise mutual information (pmi.pm). True mutual information is equivalent to the log-likelihood ratio (ll3.pm). They only differ by a scaling factor.
