NAME

Text::NSP::Measures::3D::MI::pmi - Perl module that implements Pointwise
                                   Mutual Information for trigrams.

SYNOPSIS

Basic Usage 
   use Text::NSP::Measures::3D::MI::pmi;
 
 

   $pmi_value = calculateStatistic( n111=>10,
                                   n1pp=>40,
                                   np1p=>45,
                                   npp1=>42,
                                   n11p=>20,
                                   n1p1=>23,
                                   np11=>21,
                                   nppp=>100);
 
 

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

DESCRIPTION

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: 
             n1pp * np1p * npp1
    m111=   --------------------
                    nppp

Pointwise Mutual Information (pmi) is defined as the log of the devitation between the observed frequency of a trigram (n111) and the probability of that trigram if it were independent (m111).

  PMI =   log (n111/m111)

Methods

initializeStatistic() -Initialization of the pmi_exp parameter if required
INPUT PARAMS : none

RETURN VALUES : none

calculateStatistic() - This method calculates the pmi value
INPUT PARAMS : $count_values .. Reference of a hash containing
                                       the count values computed by the
                                       count.pl program.

RETURN VALUES : $pmi .. PMI value for this trigram.

getStatisticName() - Returns the name of this statistic
INPUT PARAMS : none

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