=head1 NAME
Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::left - Perl module implementation of the left sided
Fisher's exact test.
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head3 Basic Usage
use Text::NSP::Measures::2D::Fisher::left;
my $npp = 60; my $n1p = 20; my $np1 = 20; my $n11 = 10;
$left_value = calculateStatistic( n11=>$n11,
n1p=>$n1p,
np1=>$np1,
npp=>$npp);
if( ($errorCode = getErrorCode()))
{
print STDERR $errorCode." - ".getErrorMessage();
}
else
{
print getStatisticName."value for bigram is ".$left_value;
}
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Assume that the frequency count data associated with a bigram
<word1><word2> is stored in a 2x2 contingency table:
word2 ~word2
word1 n11 n12 | n1p
~word1 n21 n22 | n2p
--------------
np1 np2 npp
where n11 is the number of times <word1><word2> occur together, and
n12 is the number of times <word1> occurs with some word other than
word2, and n1p is the number of times in total that word1 occurs as
the first word in a bigram.
The fishers exact tests are calculated by fixing the marginal totals
and computing the hypergeometric probabilities for all the possible
contingency tables,
A left sided test is calculated by adding the probabilities of all
the possible two by two contingency tables formed by fixing the
marginal totals and changing the value of n11 to less than the given
value. A left sided Fisher's Exact Test tells us how likely it is to
randomly sample a table where n11 is less than observed. In other words,
it tells us how likely it is to sample an observation where the two words
are less dependent than currently observed.
