Extract additional high level information from a dataset that contains the frequencies of words from various written sources. The dataset for this project contains data from the year 1800 to the year 2008. It is a subset of approximately 3 terabytes of data that was originally compiled by Google.
The goal of this project is to obtain some new information from the available unigram dataset.
- letterFreq.py: the relative letter frequencies of letters in the English language,
- wordFreq.py: the aggregate word counts and the distribution of word frequencies, and
- wordLength.py: the length of the average written word over the periods of time for which data are available.
Data format for .csv unigram files. Each line has entries that are comma separated.
- The first entry in each row is the word.
- The second entry is the year.
- The third entry is the the number of times that the word appeared in any book that year.
