Variation in the vocabulary of Russian literary texts
We study the variation of word frequencies in Russian literary texts. Our findings indicate that the standard deviation of a word’s frequency across texts depends on its average frequency according to a power law with exponent 0.62, showing that the rarer words have a relatively larger degree of frequency volatility (i.e., “burstiness”). Several latent factors models have been estimated to inve...
متن کاملLongitudinal methods for life course research : A comparison of sequence analysis , latent class growth models , and multistate event history models for studying partnership transitions
This paper compares and contrasts three methods that are useful for life course researchers; the more widely used sequence analysis, the promising but less often applied latent class growth models, and multistate event history models. The strengths and weaknesses of each method are highlighted by applying them to the same empirical problem. Using data from the Norwegian Generations and Gender S...

Unlike prior work in which character types are assumed responsible for probabilistically generating all text associated with a character, we introduce a model that employs multiple effects to account for the influence of extra-linguistic information...
