*
* Simple Good-Turing Frequency Estimator
*
*
* Geoffrey Sampson, with help from Miles Dennis
*
* Department of Informatics
* Sussex University
*
* www.grsampson.net
*
*
* First release: 27 June 1995
* Revised release: 24 July 2000
* This header information revised: 23 March 2005
* Further revised release: 8 April 2008
* Further revised release: 11 July 2008
*
*
* Takes a set of (frequency, frequency-of-frequency) pairs, and
* applies the "Simple Good-Turing" technique for estimating
* the probabilities corresponding to the observed frequencies,
* and P.0, the joint probability of all unobserved species.
* The Simple Good-Turing technique was devised by the late William
* A. Gale of AT&T Bell Labs, and described in Gale & Sampson,
* "Good-Turing Frequency Estimation Without Tears" (JOURNAL
* OF QUANTITATIVE LINGUISTICS, vol. 2, pp. 217-37 -- reprinted in
* Geoffrey Sampson, EMPIRICAL LINGUISTICS, Continuum, 2001).
*
* Anyone is welcome to take copies of this program and use it
* for any purpose, at his or her own risk. If it is used in
* connexion with published work, acknowledgment of Sampson and
* the University of Sussex would be a welcome courtesy.
*
* The program is written to take input from "stdin" and send output
* to "stdout"; redirection can be used to take input from and
* send output to permanent files. The code is in ANSI standard C.
*
* The input file should be a series of lines separated by newline
* characters, where all nonblank lines contain two positive integers
* (an observed frequency, followed by the frequency of that frequency)
* separated by whitespace. (Blank lines are ignored.)
* The lines should be in ascending order of frequency, and must
* begin with frequency 1.
*
* No checks are made for linearity; the program simply assumes that the
* requirements for using the SGT estimator are met.
*
* The output is a series of lines each containing an integer followed
* by a probability (a real number between zero and one), separated by a
* tab. In the first line, the integer is 0 and the real number is the
* estimate for P.0. In subsequent lines, the integers are the
* successive observed frequencies, and the reals are the estimated
* probabilities corresponding to those frequencies.
*
* Later releases cure bugs to which my attention has kindly been
* drawn at different times by Martin Jansche of Ohio State University
* and Steve Arons of New York City. No warranty is given
* as to absence of further bugs.
*
* Fan Yang of Next IT Inc., Spokane, Washington, has suggested to me
* that in the light of his experience with the SGT technique, for some
* data-sets it could be preferable to use the 0.1 significance criterion
* actually used in the experiments reported in the Gale & Sampson
* paper, rather than the 0.05 criterion suggested in that paper
* for the sake of conformity with standard statistical convention.
* (See note 8 of the paper.) Neither Fan Yang nor I have pursued
* this far enough to formulate a definite recommendation; but, in
* order to make it easier for users of the software to experiment
* with alternative confidence levels, the July 2008 release moves
* the relevant "magic number" out of the middle of the program into
* a #define line near the beginning where it is given the constant
* name CONFID_FACTOR. The value 1.96 corresponds to the p < 0.05
* criterion; in order to use the p < 0.1 criterion, 1.96 in the
* #define line should be changed to 1.65.
