> I have collected a dataset of news articles from the past few weeks. I would like to know which words occur significantly more or less frequently in the last week compared to the four weeks before. What are good methods to do this?
|
||||
|
||||
There are several good methods for detecting statistically significant shifts in word frequency between two time periods. Here's an overview:
|
||||
|
||||
### Corpus Comparison Methods
|
||||
|
||||
**1\. Log-Likelihood Ratio (G²)**
|
||||
The most widely used method in corpus linguistics (Dunning, 1993). It compares observed vs. expected frequencies under the null hypothesis that both corpora are drawn from the same distribution. It handles low-frequency words better than chi-squared and works well even when the corpora are very different sizes — which matters here since you're comparing 1 week vs. 4 weeks.
|
||||
|
||||
**2\. Chi-Squared (χ²) Test**
|
||||
A simpler alternative, but it's unreliable for low-frequency words (expected count < 5) and can produce many false positives in sparse data. Log-likelihood is generally preferred over it for text.
|
||||
|
||||
**3\. Mann-Whitney U / Permutation Tests**
|
||||
Non-parametric tests that make no distributional assumptions. Useful if you want to compare word rates *per article* rather than pooled counts, since they respect article-level variance.
|
||||
|
||||
### Effect Size Measures (use alongside significance)
|
||||
|
||||
Significance alone doesn't tell you how *much* a word has changed. Pair it with:
|
||||
|
||||
- **%DIFF** — simple percentage difference in relative frequency, easy to interpret
|
||||
- **Bayes Factor (BIC approximation)** — penalises complexity, good for prioritising the most meaningful differences
|
||||
- **Log Ratio** — `log2(freq_week5 / freq_weeks1-4)`, gives a symmetric, interpretable effect size: +1 means doubled, −1 means halved
|
||||
|
||||
### Practical Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
| Issue | Recommendation |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Unequal corpus sizes | Normalize to relative frequencies (per million words) before comparing |
|
||||
| Multiple comparisons | Apply Benjamini-Hochberg FDR correction — you're testing thousands of words simultaneously |
|
||||
| Low-frequency words | Set a minimum frequency threshold (e.g., appears ≥ 5 times total) to reduce noise |
|
||||
| Stop words | Decide whether to include them — they shift too and can be informative (e.g., rising use of "we" vs. "they") |
|
||||
| Multiword expressions | Consider bigrams/trigrams if single words feel too decontextualised |
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommended Pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Tokenize and normalize** (lowercase, optional lemmatization)
|
||||
2. **Count frequencies** in each time window
|
||||
3. **Filter** by minimum frequency
|
||||
4. **Run Log-Likelihood** for significance; compute **Log Ratio** for effect size
|
||||
5. **Apply FDR correction** across all words
|
||||
6. **Rank** by effect size among significant words
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools & Libraries
|
||||
|
||||
- **Python**: `scipy.stats` for chi-squared/G², `statsmodels` for FDR correction, `nltk`/`spacy` for tokenization
|
||||
- **R**: the `quanteda` package has `textstat_keyness()` built-in, which implements log-likelihood and several other keyness measures out of the box — very convenient for exactly this use case
|
||||
- **Ready-made**: AntConc (free GUI tool) supports keyness analysis directly
|
||||
|
||||
Would you like help implementing any of these in code?
|
||||
|
||||
> For the %DIFF, do you calculate it as "freq_week5 - freq_weeks1-4" ?
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Can you show scipy.stats code for chi-squared and G^2 ?
|
||||
|
||||
### %DIFF Formula
|
||||
|
||||
It's the relative difference in *normalised* frequencies (not raw counts, since your corpora are different sizes):
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
%DIFF = ((freq_B / size_B) - (freq_A / size_A)) / (freq_A / size_A) * 100
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Where A is the reference corpus (weeks 1–4) and B is the target (week 5). So it answers: "by what percentage did the relative frequency go up or down?"
|
||||
|
||||

||||
|
||||
### Chi-Squared and G² in scipy
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
import numpy as np
|
||||
from scipy.stats import chi2_contingency, chi2
|
||||
|
||||
def corpus_stats(word, counts_recent, counts_reference, total_recent, total_reference):
|
||||
"""
|
||||
word : the word being tested
|
||||
counts_recent : raw count in week 5
|
||||
counts_reference : raw count in weeks 1-4
|
||||
total_recent : total tokens in week 5
|
||||
total_reference : total tokens in weeks 1-4
|
||||
"""
|
||||
a = counts_recent # word in recent
|
||||
b = counts_reference # word in reference
|
||||
c = total_recent - a # non-word in recent
|
||||
d = total_reference - b # non-word in reference
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
contingency = np.array([[a, b],
|
||||
[c, d]])
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# --- Chi-Squared ---
|
||||
chi2_stat, p_chi2, _, _ = chi2_contingency(contingency, correction=False)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# --- Log-Likelihood (G²) ---
|
||||
# G² = 2 * sum(observed * log(observed / expected))
|
||||
# scipy's chi2_contingency with lambda_="log-likelihood" computes this
|
||||
g2_stat, p_g2, _, _ = chi2_contingency(contingency, lambda_="log-likelihood")
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# --- Effect sizes ---
|
||||
freq_recent = a / total_recent
|
||||
freq_reference = b / total_reference
|
||||
|
||||
pct_diff = (freq_recent - freq_reference) / freq_reference * 100
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# Avoid log(0) with a small epsilon
|
||||
eps = 1e-9
|
||||
log_ratio = np.log2((freq_recent + eps) / (freq_reference + eps))
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
return {
|
||||
"word": word,
|
||||
"freq_recent": freq_recent,
|
||||
"freq_reference": freq_reference,
|
||||
"pct_diff": pct_diff,
|
||||
"log_ratio": log_ratio,

||||
"p_chi2": p_chi2,
|
||||
"g2": g2_stat,
|
||||
"p_g2": p_g2,
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A few notes:
|
||||
|
||||
- `correction=False` disables Yates' continuity correction for chi-squared, which is standard for large corpora
|
||||
- `lambda_="log-likelihood"` is scipy's built-in way to get G²; it uses the same contingency table logic
|
||||
- Both tests have **1 degree of freedom** for a 2×2 table, so the p-values are directly comparable
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
### Running it over a full vocabulary
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from statsmodels.stats.multitest import multipletests
|
||||
|
||||
results = [
|
||||
corpus_stats(word, counts_recent[word], counts_reference.get(word, 0),
|
||||
total_recent, total_reference)
|
||||
for word in counts_recent
|
||||
]
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
# FDR correction across all words
|
||||
|
||||
p_values = [r["p_g2"] for r in results]
|
||||
|
||||
_, p_adjusted, _, _ = multipletests(p_values, method="fdr_bh")
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
for r, p_adj in zip(results, p_adjusted):
|
||||
r["p_g2_adjusted"] = p_adj
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Would you like help loading your articles and building the frequency counts to feed into this?
|
||||
|
||||
> And what about tf-idf?
|
||||
|
||||
TF-IDF is a slightly different tool — worth understanding the distinction before deciding whether to use it.
|
||||
|
||||
### What TF-IDF actually measures
|
||||
|
||||
TF-IDF scores a word relative to how *distinctive* it is within a document compared to a collection. The formula is:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
TF-IDF(word, doc) = TF(word, doc) × IDF(word, corpus)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- **TF** — how often the word appears in a specific document
|
||||
- **IDF** — penalises words that appear in many documents (so "the" scores low)
|
||||
|
||||
It was designed for **ranking documents by relevance to a query**, not for comparing two time periods.
|
||||
|
||||
### The core problem for your use case
|
||||
|
||||
If you treat each time period as one big document, TF-IDF collapses to just IDF — because TF becomes the same for both "documents" and cancels out. You'd just be finding words that are rare across the whole corpus, which isn't what you want.
|
||||
|
||||
You *could* treat each article as a document and then aggregate scores by time period, but then you're measuring **within-article distinctiveness**, not **frequency shifts over time**.
|
||||
|
||||
### When TF-IDF *is* useful in your pipeline
|
||||
|
||||
| Use case | Good fit? |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Detecting words that increased/decreased in frequency week-over-week | ✗ Use G² + log ratio instead |
|
||||
| Finding the most topically distinctive words *within* a single article | ✓ |
|
||||
| Building features for a classifier or clustering articles by topic | ✓ |
|
||||
| Summarising what a time period was "about" relative to a background corpus | Partially — see below |
|
||||
|
||||
### The partial exception: keyness as pseudo-TF-IDF
|
||||
|
||||
Some researchers compute a **keyness score** by treating the recent period as the "document" and the reference period as the "corpus" — which is conceptually similar to TF-IDF. But the statistically rigorous version of this is exactly the log-likelihood + log ratio approach already described. G² is essentially the principled, significance-tested version of what TF-IDF approximates intuitively.
|
||||
|
||||
### Bottom line
|
||||
|
||||
For your goal — words that shifted significantly between week 5 and weeks 1–4 — G² with log ratio is the right tool. TF-IDF would give you a rough proxy at best and a misleading ranking at worst.
|
||||
|
||||
> The corpus_stats() function contains the following comment:
|
||||
>
|
||||
> `# G² = 2 * sum(observed * log(observed / expected))`
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Is this the formula to calculate the log-likelihood ratio? What do the observed and expected variables contain?
|
||||
|
||||
Yes, that's the correct formula for G². Let me break it down.
|
||||
|
||||
### The full formula
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
G² = 2 × Σ Oᵢ × ln(Oᵢ / Eᵢ)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The sum runs over all **four cells** of the contingency table:
|
||||
|
||||
| | Recent (week 5) | Reference (weeks 1–4) |
|
||||
| --- | --- | --- |
|
||||
| **Target word** | a | b |
|
||||
| **All other words** | c | d |
|
||||
|
||||
### Observed values
|
||||
|
||||
Simply the raw counts from your data:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
O₁ = a (word in recent)
|
||||
O₂ = b (word in reference)
|
||||
O₃ = c (all other words in recent)
|
||||
O₄ = d (all other words in reference)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Expected values
|
||||
|
||||
The counts you would *expect* if the word's relative frequency were identical in both corpora — i.e. under the null hypothesis that nothing changed. They're computed from the row and column marginals:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
E₁ = (a + b) × (a + c) / N
|
||||
E₂ = (a + b) × (b + d) / N
|
||||
E₃ = (c + d) × (a + c) / N
|
||||
E₄ = (c + d) × (b + d) / N
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Where `N = a + b + c + d` is the total number of tokens across both corpora.
|
||||
|
||||
### Concrete example
|
||||
|
||||
Say your recent corpus has 10,000 tokens and your reference has 40,000 tokens, and the word "crisis" appears 30 times recently and 60 times in the reference:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
a = 30, b = 60
|
||||
c = 9970, d = 39940
|
||||
N = 50000
|
||||
|
||||
E₁ = (30+60) × (30+9970) / 50000 = 90 × 10000 / 50000 = 18
|
||||
E₂ = (30+60) × (60+39940) / 50000 = 90 × 40000 / 50000 = 72
|
||||
E₃ = (9970+39940) × 10000 / 50000 = 49910 × 10000 / 50000 = 9982
|
||||
E₄ = (9970+39940) × 40000 / 50000 = 49910 × 40000 / 50000 = 39928
|
||||
|
||||
G² = 2 × (30×ln(30/18) + 60×ln(60/72) + 9970×ln(9970/9982) + 39940×ln(39940/39928))
|
||||
≈ 2 × (16.2 − 9.9 − 1.2 + 1.2)
|
||||
≈ 12.7
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
"crisis" appears at 3× its expected relative frequency (30/18), and G² = 12.7 exceeds the chi-squared critical value of 3.84 at p < 0.05 with 1 degree of freedom, so the increase is significant.
