create-icfrequency.pl - This program sums the frequency counts of the CUIs from a specified set of sources in plain text.
This program sums the frequency counts of the CUIs from a specified set of sources in plain text. The CUIs are determined by mapping the words in the text to CUIs in the UMLS using the strings in the MRCONSO table or MetaMap.
Usage: create-icfrequency.pl.pl [OPTIONS] OUTPUTFILE INPUTFILE
The output file contains frequency counts for CUIs in the following format:
SAB :: <sources> CUI<>freq CUI<>freq ...
File containing plain text.
Obtains the CUI counts using the term counts. This is the default.
Obtain the CUI counts using MetaMap. This requires that you have MetaMap installed on your system. You can obtain this package:
http://mmtx.nlm.nih.gov/
These frequency counts are used to obtain the propagation counts. The format is similar to the output of count.pl from Text::NSP using the unigram option.
This is the configuration file. The format of the configuration file is as follows:
SAB :: <include|exclude> <source1, source2, ... sourceN>
For example, if we wanted to include on those CUIs in the MSH vocabulary:
SAB :: include MSH REL :: include RB, RN
or maybe use all the CUIs except those in MSH:
SAB :: exclude MSH
If you go to the configuration file directory, there will be example configuration files for the different runs that you have performed.

The Information Content (IC) is defined as the negative log of the probability of a concept. The probability of a concept, c, is determine by summing the probability of the concept ocurring in some text plus the probability its decendants occuring in some text:
