larosa217 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I'm not a new Bible software user, but I am new to Accordance. After years of using Logos & other software packages, I got rid of most and went primarily mobile. But now, I'm finding there are some original language type studies I'd like to perform & get analysis for that I simply cannot do in the platforms I'm using now. So, I'm debating between Accordance & BibleWorks as my platform of choice. That said, I was hoping I could get an answer to the following question, as it'll greatly help in my decision making. I've searched the forums & haven't quite found an anything that answers my question, so I'm asking here. In both Logos and BibleWorks it's possible to do search for a word (no matter the language, but let's say a Greek lemma) and get a result of the hits. Both of these applications then allow you to visually see these results in graph form. One of the ways they allow you to analyze the data is to show the number of hits as a percentage of the number of words in that book. Is this type of analysis possible in Accordance? I know that it can do it based on an arbitrary number of words, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ιακοβ Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Im not sure i can answer this question, but you have me curious! What is this kind of result useful for? The reason I ask is, the fact that the word "the" is 25% of the words, or the fact that "sacrifice" is 0.01% of the words doesn't seem overly useful. Hence, I can't help but wonder what this might be useful for. (There are certainly other types of useful searches in accordance, that I can easily understand the usefulness, such as how often is the word "sacrifice" used in each book of the bible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 After you search there are a number of Analytic graphics and tables that you can open. The Table and the Table Bar Chart will display the Average Hits or Hits per 1000 words for each book and chapter. The other counts and graphs won't do that. As usual Set xxx Display lets you choose between the options. We have had this feature for many many years, probably long before other programs.

Fabian Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) One of the ways they allow you to analyze the data is to show the number of hits as a percentage of the number of words in that book. If I'm right this has to be programmed first. And Yes I would love to have this. Probably in the "Analyse" and in the "Pie Chart" or as a percentage next to the Word in the "Info Pane". A similar feature is the "Wordlist" "Concentration" in the Info Pane, that gives you also an idea how important the Words are. But so I know not to the "Book" more in general. With * [RANGE ] and then Analyse and count down. You can also see the importance of all Word related to that book.

Fabian Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) Here's a sample: Screen Shot 2017-03-07 at 8.05.35 AM.png your screenshot is over all Books from the NT. If I understand him correct he want to have it like how important is Esther in the Book of Esther. This is possible Here in the Analysis you can view it in alphabetical, count up, count down, and on the right corner you can switch between importance, uniqument, etc. With the Pie chart it is possible, but if you here have 1000 different words it is to fiddly, if the word is very unique. But you can click in the grey field and this will open it for the other words. So here is allways a quick view how often comes the word in the full corpus (Bible, NT, Fathers etc.) Maybe if the corpus set to a Book or a Range, then the % can/should be related on this. In this case the King has 2%. The King is also double important than the Bride, in the book of Esther. The percentage on 1000 words is great, but I would love to have it related on the specific book too. Edited March 7, 2017 by Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timothy Jenney Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 His request used a Greek lemma as an example. That's what I offered. In both Logos and BibleWorks it's possible to do search for a word (no matter the language, but let's say a Greek lemma) and get a result of the hits. Both of these applications then allow you to visually see these results in graph form.

Fabian Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 No problem, for me the focus was more on "percentage of the number of words in that book". If we combined our answers he get what he will:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 If I'm correct the question from larosa217 comes from time to time up. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
