woef: word efficiency
synopsis
woef(words: in, woefp: in, list: out, output: out)
files
words: multiple line detailed description of file 1, etc
list: multiple line detailed description of file 2, etc
woefp: parameters to control the program. The file must contain the
following parameters, one per line:
parameterversion: The version number of the program. This allows the
user to be warned if an old parameter file is used.
cutoff (integer): Many words appear only once. This can reflect
misspellings. It may reflect uncertainty in the computation. If
this parameter is set to 1, the single words will be eliminated.
output: messages to the user
description
This program:
1. parses out words from text (eg a list of amino acids).
2. It then counts up the number of each kind of word.
3. From this it computes the frequencies.
4. Then it computes the uncertainty.
5. Then it computes the coding efficiency as the uncertainty divided by
the log of the number of words.
