lexical Bayesian Network
Description
Accounting for the relationship between lexical prevalence and acquisition with Bayesian networks and population dynamics.
Format
A Gaussian Bayesian network to analyze various measures of lexical dispersion and assess the extent to which they are linked to age of acquisition. Probabilities were given within the referenced paper. The vertices are:
- aoa
Age of aquisition;
- area
Area in which the word is known;
- genre_disp
Dispersion across genres;
- log_freq
Logarithm of word frequency;
- log_range
Logarithm of dispersion across texts;
- prev_heard
Fraction of speakers that have already heard a word;
- prev_used
Fraction of speakers that have already used a word;
- social_disp
Entropy of educational status per word;
Value
An object of class bn.fit
