NAME
Text::NSP::Measures::2D::MI::pmi - Perl module that implements Pointwise Mutual Information.
SYNOPSIS
Basic Usage
use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::MI::pmi;
my $pmi = Text::NSP::Measures::2D::MI::pmi->new();
my $npp = 60; my $n1p = 20; my $np1 = 20; my $n11 = 10;
$pmi_value = $pmi->calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
n1p=>$n1p,
np1=>$np1,
npp=>$npp);
if( ($errorCode = $pmi->getErrorCode()))
{
print STDERR $erroCode." - ".$pmi->getErrorMessage();
}
else
{
print $pmi->getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$pmi_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 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
Pointwise Mutual Information (pmi) is defined as the log of the devitation between the observed frequency of a bigram (n11) and the probability of that bigram if it were independent (m11).
PMI = log (n11/m11)
Methods
- calculateStatistic() - This method calculates the pmi value
-
INPUT PARAMS : $count_values .. Reference of a hash containing the count valuescomputed by the count.pl program.
RETURN VALUES : $pmi .. PMI value for this bigram.
- getStatisticName() - Returns the name of this statistic
-
INPUT PARAMS : none
RETURN VALUES : $name .. Name of the measure.
