Caveat: I barely know R-language so i struggled a bit to make this work, also the original used a Million words whereas this just uses the 37k ish voynich words however as far as i can tell, the resultant graphs agree with the raw data ( except for the small discrepancy with EVA-o ) and parallel S.Palmers graphs, so i think its all good but if anyone knows of any mistakes i've made here, please point them out.
@Koen, R-code is in the link, i had to change the 'datasource' bit to load and process the edited vms text.
@R.Sale, graphs for English are on the OG blog post, i copied and grouped them in an image but im unsure if i can post that image because of copyright.
As to how it compares with regular languages or relevant period texts, i have no idea.
This is vms EVA and Hargreaves did English , so they are the only 2 available for comparison that i know of.
Some quick observations:
English-C has a graph resembling EVA-d.
English <B,J,Q,W> resemble the EVA-<p,q,c,s> group.
English-U is most similar to EVA-e.
i have no idea what that means or even if it means anything.
I just saw the OG blog post and thought that looks fun, lets try it with EVA and it may help me visualize Stolfis' core-crust-mantle idea.
