What is the relative frequency?

The relative frequency is a number obtained by dividing the total number of occurrences in a region by the relative size of its sub-corpus. This indicates how much more or less often Gender-based violence is in each region compared to other regions and the entire HE Corpus. The higher the value is, the more representative Gender-based violence is of documents published in a given region.
