Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Zipfstats

To find out how Zipfian your posts/pages are, and perhaps demonstrate that their content shows signs that the author is capable of using a natural language. Granted, Zipf's law is not generally regarded as prescriptive, meaning that it's not necessarily what a fluent writer in a given language should achieve, but there are arguments to the contrary. Mostly, because the graphs and tables are fun to look at (again, see screenshots).
In terms of calculations, Zipfstats only takes into account post/page content. Aspects of the widget display can be affected depending on theme configuration. Most Zipfstats work was performed against the Twenty Fourteen theme, as a point of reference.
See above re: themes. If Zipfstats is set to strip shortcodes, then any content that is generated by a plugin's shortcode(s) will be ignored for purposes of analysis. Aside from that, plugin behavior (and, again, the content) will be unaffected.
It is traditional to plot the log of rank and frequency rather than the raw numbers when conducting a Zipf analysis. The table reflects the raw data (i.e. "the" may have appeared 237 times, but that figure is plotted as the log of 237). The key is that the degree of Zipfian fit is reflected in the graph (the more linear, the more Zipfian).
