Association measures are mathematical formulae that interpret cooccurrence frequency data. For each pair of words extracted from a corpus, they compute an association score, a single real value that indicates the amount of (statistical) association between the two words.

The module expects a pandas dataframe with reasonably named columns; i.e. the columns must follow one of the following notations:
>>> df
item O11 O12 O21 O22
1 appreciated 1 15333 1 176663
2 certain 7 15327 113 176551

5 arrived 2 15334 5 191998where f=O11, f1=O11+O12, f2=O11+O21, N=O11+O12+O21+O22.

5 arrived 2 15334 3 176664where f1=O11, f2=O21, N1=O11+O12, N2=O21+O22.
Given a dataframe following one of the notations specified above, you can calculate expected frequencies via
>>> import association_measures.frequencies as fq
>>> fq.expected_frequencies(df)
E11 E12 E21 E22
1 0.159731 15333.840269 1.840269 176662.159731

5 0.399327 15333.600673 4.600673 176659.399327The observed_frequency method will convert to contingency notation:
>>> import association_measures.frequencies as fq
>>> fq.observed_frequencies(df)
O11 O12 O21 O22
1 1 15333 1 176663
2 7 15327 113 176551
3 1 15333 7 176657
4 2 15332 45 176619
5 2 15332 3 176661Note that all methods return dataframes that are indexed the same way the input dataframe is indexed:
>>> df

You can either calculate specific measures:

You can turn off this behaviour setting freq=False.

>>> am.score(df, measures=['log_likelihood'], signed=False, freq=False)
