Are perfect-reduplication and quasi-reduplication related?
#16
Hi David,
thank you very much for checking these numbers: this is quite helpful to me! You already helped my correct one error and it is well possible it was not the only one.

%Red and %Quasi are independent in principle, but they appear to be correlated in the VMS.
I added the C values (number of word-couples) for each row here. I also add MATTR200 which, as Koen pointed out, is significantly anti-correlated with %Red. For MATTR, I used a slightly modified version of Nablator's java class. 

Obviously, reduplication contributes to lower MATTR, but the instances of reduplication, however numerous, are not enough to have a great impact: I have to reflect more about this. Of course, MATTR should be totally independent on quasi-reduplication, but in the VMS both appear to be correlated with Reduplication and (somehow more weakly) correlated with each other.
I would also like to test with scrambled versions as suggested by Koen.

At the bottom of the table, I include an example for a simple synthetic file (attached): an extreme case that could help clarify things.

Yes, the equation is always true.
Since %quasi/N.Quasi is 1/C, you can rewrite the equation as
%red=n.Red/C, which is true by definition.

Please, check the value of C4. Shouldn't it be 0.738 to match my data?
