Optimization of parameters in the Menzerath–Altmann law

Ján Andres, Lubomír Kubáček, Jitka Machalová, Michaela Tučková (2012)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Four formulas of the Menzerath–Altmann law are tested from the point of view of their applicability and suitability. The accuracy of related approximations of measured data is examined by the least square method at first. Then the accuracy of calculated parameters in the formulas under consideration is compared statistically. The influence of neglecting parameter c is investigated as well. Finally, the obtained results are discussed by means of an illustrative example from quantitative linguistics....

Polynomials associated with exponential regression

J. Bukac (2001)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Fitting exponentials a + b e c x to data by the least squares method is discussed. It is shown how the polynomials associated with this problem can be factored. The closure of the set of this type of functions defined on a finite domain is characterized and an existence theorem derived.
