Using statistical techniques on the VMS is not going to be easy. We all know that the text is full of oddities and irregularities. One being that the frequencies of line first words and line last words are different to the remainder of the text. Also perhaps the authors made mistakes. Perhaps also knowing that the text would be undecipherable they did not feel it important to be correct. The VMS might just be a sloppy piece of work. If you are planning on using some of the techniques of hypothesis testing to get some significance level to some hypothesis then these oddities will bias your calculations.
