Manuals

The letters 'ps' in front of a program means the program produces a PostScript image.

 

 
General
 
Files
 
Formats definitions of file formats shared between programs
Unicode how to use unicode in the programs leven, features, and xstokens
 

 
Dialectometrics
 
Programs
 
leven using the Levenshtein algorithm, derive a difference matrix for a set of locations based on sets of strings for each location
giw using the Gewichteter Identitätswert, derive a difference matrix for a set of locations based on sets of labels for each location
bugtest what about the Alpha Cronbach bug in leven and giw?
features feature difference calculation for Levenshtein measurement
xstokens tokenise datafiles from X-SAMPA or similar
perfiles permutate linguistic data
sssplit split a single spreadsheet into a set of files
 

 
Validation
 
Programs
 
linc calculate the Local Incoherence of a difference matrix, a numerical validation method
 

 
Hierarchical clustering
 
Programs
 
cluster perform hierarchical clustering on a difference matrix
ps den display a hierarchical clustering in a dendrogram
clgroup derive a partitioning from a hierarchical clustering
clnewick translate a cluster file to the Newick tree format
 

 
Multidimensional scaling
 
Programs
 
mds perform multidimensional scaling on a difference matrix
ps mdsplot MDS-plot with cluster marking
 

 
Cartography
 
File
 
Configuration setting global options for all maps of a single region
 
Programs
 
mapsetup generate files needed by mapclust, mapdiff, maplink, mapmap, maprgb, and mapvec
ps mapclust draw a map with clustering
ps maprgb draw a colour map, for example, using the data from 3D multidimensional scaling
ps maplink draw a map with links between locations
ps mapmap draw a plain map, without any clustering or other colours
ps mapdiff draw a difference map (e.g. composite cluster map)
ps mapvec draw a vector map
ll2grid map coordinates from longitude and latitude onto a rectangular projection
 

 
Miscellaneous tools
 
Programs
 
ps legend make a legend of colours, patterns or symbols used in maps created by den, mdsplot, and mapclust
diffix fix an incomplete difference matrix by guessing from differences between locations close to the ones whose values are missing
difinfo get statistical info from a difference matrix file
difmod derive a new difference matrix from an old difference matrix by merging or deleting items
difsum combine several difference matrix files into one
locmod derive a new set of coordinates from an old set of coordinates by merging or deleting items (locations)
ll2dst derive a distance matrix for a set of locations given their longitude and latitude coordinates
dif2tab convert a difference table file, such as created be the progams leven and giw, into a tab-delimited file
vec2tab convert a vector file, such as created be the progam mds, into a tab-delimited file
