[Corpora-List] Considering Distributions Across Texts

[Don Tuggener]

Hi Brian,

I'm guessing you're looking for tests that help you identify statistical significance of your query results?
A good starting point may be:
2010f. Gries, Stefan Th. Useful statistics for corpus linguistics. In Aquilino Sánchez & Moisés Almela (eds.), A mosaic of corpus linguistics: selected approaches, 269-291. Frankfurt am Main: Peter Lang.
(http://www.linguistics.ucsb.edu/faculty/stgries/research/overview-research.html)

Best,
Don
