Paired Comparison Sentiment Scores
Table 2: Comparison of scores obtained for different distribution functions F.
['[EMPTY]', '[ITALIC] normal', '[ITALIC] logistic', '[ITALIC] uniform']
For the 199 different words, we estimated the polarity scores with the LSQ method with the three distribution functions of Fig. The draw width t turned out to be 0.126 for the normal distribution, 0.122 for the logistic distribution, and 0.132 for the uniform distribution. Fig. The valley around zero (neutrality) is due to the fact that the words were drawn from the SentiWS data, which only contains positive or negative words. The comparative shapes are as expected from Fig. The range of the score values depends on the distribution F, too: for the normal distribution it is [−1.058,1.099], for the logistic distribution [−1.042,1.083], and for the uniform distribution [−1.080,1.118].
