Sentence length distribution
Kašpar, Martin ; Hlávka, Zdeněk (advisor) ; Hlubinka, Daniel (referee)
In the present work we study whether it is possible to describe the lengths of sentences of a prosaic text by a probability distribution. We focus on negative binomial, lognormal and Sichel distributions and their comparison. We study Sichel distribution in detail, because it was introduced as distribution for description of bibliometric data. We also investigate estimation of parameters of all three distributions and then use the theoretical results on specific data (a few texts in Czech and English). Finally, we test the accuracy of the distributions and estimated parameters, using the results given in this work. 1
