  Hi All,
  
  I watched LFD's video on quire reordering. Has anyone run any statistical analysis to see if it can be inferred from content alone? For example do certain folios contain more similar vocabulary than others? I think I remember reading somewhere that folios 42, 49, and 56 all share a lot of vocabulary with each other (way more than typical herbal folios do), suggesting they came from the same production batch, even though they're now in different quires.
  
  Thanks

  Hi DG97EEB,
  
  The new statistical study by Colin Layfield uses LSA similarity. Similarity in vocabulary doesn't matter so much, apparently, in establishing text correlation. I have posted a comparison of vocabulary of pages of Q20 You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. I'll run the same program on Herbal folios when I find the time, probably tomorrow.

  Ah, thank you.. that's really interesting and helpful... I was thinking of using Cosine, but this is even better
