18. Lexical Diversity

Worked example

1. Scenario 1

   Worked example

   DatasetMath steps

   Scenario

   Using the sample Kifuliiru field values below, compute Lexical Diversity.

   Input data

   Illustrative inputs

   Quantity	Symbol	Value
   Lexical Diversity Score (0 to 1)	LDS	0.55
   Count of unique/distinct words used	V_unique	150
   Total number of words in the sample	N_total	200

   Reasoning

   Use the listed values (LDS = 0.55, V_unique = 150, N_total = 200) in the formula, then complete the remaining symbolic step by hand or in the playground. Interpret the result against the formula's stated purpose.

   Computation

   $$LDS=\frac{\sqrt{V_{unique}}}{N_{total}}$$
