I have had a query about MI (or any other similar statistic)
involving more than two elements:<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant:
normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height:
normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;
text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto;
word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;
-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255,
255); display: inline !important; float: none;">"I don't know how
to calculate the Mutual Information (MI) for these 4-word lexical
bundles, it seems I can only find the MI score for 2-word
collocations."</span><br>
<br>
Can anyone advise please?<br>
<br>
Cheers -- Mike<br>
