Formula Word Position Trend Across Corpus Analyzer
Locate a formula word in each corpus line (case-insensitive first occurrence), average its relative position from 0 (line start) to 1 (line end), and label the trend initial (<1/3), medial (<2/3), or terminal.

How Formula Word Position Trend Across Corpus Analyzer works
Locate a formula word in each corpus line (case-insensitive first occurrence), average its relative position from 0 (line start) to 1 (line end), and label the trend initial (<1/3), medial (<2/3), or terminal. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1
- Lines with formula
- Number of lines containing the formula word.
- Mean position
- Mean relative first-occurrence position between 0 and 1.
- Trend
- Banded trend of the mean position.
Limitations and assumptions
- Corpus references, formula detectors, measurements, and classifiers depend on the edition, language, script, abbreviation practice, text normalization, and preservation state. Automated output should remain linked to the diplomatic transcription and image evidence.
- Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.
