namebot.metrics module¶
Metrics for measuring various aspects of words.
Conventions used in this utility: 1. All functions return a dictionary,
with key ‘data’ and/or ‘summary’: return {
‘data’: data, ‘summary’: summary or None}
-
namebot.metrics.categorize_word_type(words)[source]¶ Get the common naming strategy ‘category’ of a name, based on precedence.
Categories are derived from http://www.thenameinspector.com/10-name-types/, so it is important to note there is no agreed upon standard, meaning it is ultimately a little arbitrary.
Since it is a bit challenging to actually determine its type, we give a weighting for each word based on a few known metrics. This can be updated in the future so that weightings are binary (e.g. 0.0 and 100.0), giving traditional False/True.
