Title Probability for linguists
Author GOLDSMITH John
Keywords Bigram, Entropy, Probability, Unigram
Topics Cognitive Sciences, Linguistics, Mathematic models, Phonology, Probabilities, Statistical inference, Stochastic models, Time Series
Abstract This paper offers a gentle introduction to probability for linguists, assuming little or no background beyond what one learns in high school. The most important points that we emphasize are: the conceptual difference between probability and frequency, the use of maximizing probability of an Kullback-Leibler divergence.
