CasualConc 3.5 beta (20240526) & STFDB Creator 1.1 (20240524)

I just released a new version of CasualConc and STFDB Creator. I haven't been able to fully test the new features, so it is still a beta and there may be many bugs remaining.

CasualConc

Topic Modeling (with MALLET)

• I incorporated functions of CasualMallet into CasualConc. You need to install MALLET separately (CasualConc has an install helper)

  • Displaying MALLET output on CasualConc

  • Run some statistical analysis with the output data

  • Some R visualization tools can import MALLET results

File Processing

• CasualMallet has a function to handle text, such as extracting specified sections, splitting text files, etc. A new feature on CasualConc is this text file handling part. You can split text files into segments, extracting text from files using context/header tag settings, POS-tagging text in the process, etc.

Statistics

• You can run basic linear multiple regression analysis with many diagnostic plots and model selection features.

  • experimentally implemented dominance analysis and random forest for independent variable evaluation (Mizumoto, 2023)

GrammarDB mode

• The database table structures are modified (nothing has really changed on the interface)

  • you can create a new structure of database files on the updated STFDB Creator

Bug Fixes

• numerous bug fixes on various tools

STFDB Creator

• Updated to create a database files with a revised table structure

  • you can create a hybrid database file which has old and new table structures
