Heap's Law

As we gather larger copora (more instances of tokens), the corresponding number of distinct types gets diminished as we exhaust the discovery of full vocabulary. This phenomenon can be explained by the Heap's law which is formulated as:

V = f(n) = Knβ

where V = types n = tokens K and β are free parameters determined empirically

Objective

The objective of this experiment is to understand the relation between types and tokens with increasing corpus size.
