英语和中国语言频率时间系列(LFTS ) 基于英国人和二篇中国小说被构造。统计假设测试的方法被采用测试 LFTS 的非线性的性质。结果建议展出的系列非正常,汽车关联词,和静止特征。而且,我们发现 LFTS 跟随幂定律分布,并且从而,我们调查了分数维的结构,长期的关联,和 intermittency,它显示了 LFTS 的自我类似特征,并且也提供了人的社会是可能的分享一些通用性质的提示。
English and Chinese language frequency time series (LFTS) were constructed based on an English and two Chinese novels. Methods of statistical hypothesis testing were adopted to test the nonlinear properties of the LFTS. Results suggest the series exhibited non-normal, auto-correlative, and stationary characteristics. Moreover, we found that LFTS follow the power law distributions, and thereby we investigated the fractal structure, long range correlation, and intermittency, which indicated the self-similarity features of LFTS, and also provided hints that human societies are likely to share some universal properties.
