Automated Topic Analysis of the Voynich Manuscript

[oshfdk]

The null hypothesisis is: 

H₀: topics are independent of language/hand.

I'm not sure this null hypothesis is valid, at least not when it's used for the languages. Since languages were initially defined using the properties of the text (relative abundance of various words and symbol combinations), and topic modeling uses the same properties, the null hypothesis states an a priori impossible situation, so its p value might not have any sense. I'm not a scientist though and my experience with p-values is nearly zero.

For hands this is more interesting, but as far as I know, some correlation between hands and languages do exist? This is not really my area.
