Programming

If you are interested in obtaining any of these brief scripts for R , let me know.

• a script to compute an exact/combinatorial version of the t-test for independent samples;
  
• a script to compute an exact/combinatorial version of the t-test for dependent samples;
  
• a script to compute the multinomial test (where the point probabilities of events summed are not those with smaller p's than the observed distribution but those yielding a higher contribution to chi-square than the observed distribution);
  
• a script to compute a Monte-Carlo-like simulation of the multinomial test to identify the distributions most strongly deviating from some distribution defined by null hypothesis probabilities when the exact computation with the above script proves to be too demanding;
  
• HCFA 3.2, an interactive script to compute simple and hierarchical configuration frequency analyses (HCFA, German: hierarchische Konfigurationsfrequenzanalyse), a technique used to investigate multidimensional frequency tables / contingency tables by testing all possible subtables for multiple types and antitypes on the basis of comparing each configuration's contribution to chi-square with the p-value corrected for post hoc tests (with Holm's formula);
  
• Coll.analysis 3.2a, an interactive script to compute all methods from the family of collostructional analysis developed by Anatol Stefanowitsch and myself: collexeme analysis to investigate the relation between words and words/constructions (cf. here for a reference), (multiple) distinctive collexeme analysis to investigate how collocates distinguish between arbitrarily many nearly synonymous words/constructions (cf. here for a reference), and co-varying collexeme analysis to investigate how different slots of a construction are related (cf. here for a reference) together with a refined cluster-analytic evaluation of the latter two methods (cf. here for a reference);
  
• BehavioralProfiles 0.99, an interactive script to convert a spreadsheet-like table into a table of behavioral profile vectors, to compute a cluster analysis (on the basis of user-defined parameters), output a dendrogram as well as various diagnostics, silhouette widths, and perform validations via a partitioning method and multiscale bootstrap resampling;
  
• Cluster.eval 0.9, an interactive script to do cluster analyses and their post-hoc evaluation on the basis of plotted silhouette widths (based on existing R packages by other authors);
  
• a script to compute the measures of orthographic/graphemic or phonemic similarity between practically unlimited numbers of pairs of words known as Dice, XDice, LCS1, LCS2 and string-edit distance (cf. here or here for references where some of these were put to use).
