Python script that uses NLTK to calculate the average length of English words across token and types in the Brown corpus
import nltk
from statistics import mean, stdev, median, mode
nltk.download('brown')
tokens = nltk.corpus.brown.tagged_words(tagset="universal")
types = list(dict.fromkeys(tokens))
# Lengths of tokens / types but ignoring punctuation, numbers, and X
# which is mostly foreign words (German, French, Latin) but strangely
# also a small number of common English words:

LaTeX template for articles in APA format

Compile this template by executing the following in a command shell:

  pdflatex test && biber test && pdflatex test && pdflatex test

This template uses biblatex and biber instead of good old BibTeX. The bibliography files (*.bib) can have the same format (although biblatex allows using some interesting extensions). However, the biblatex+biber combo is much more powerful than good-old BibTeX (e.g. support for multiple bibliographies in one document) and comes with great documentation.

Suggestions for improvements welcome.

How to correctly calculate worker compensation for Amazon Mechanical Turk

How to correctly calculate worker compensation for Amazon Mechanical Turk

tl;dr: When calculating the average time it takes to complete a HIT, it may be more appropriate to use the geometric mean or the median instead of the arithmetic mean. You may otherwise spend considerably more money than necessary (in our case 50% more).
