The Discriminative Lexicon: A Unified Computational Model for the Lexicon and Lexical Processing in Comprehension and Production Grounded Not in (De)Composition but in Linear Discriminative Learning

Table 2

Summary of a Gaussian location scale additive model fitted to the similarity ratings in the MEN dataset, with as predictor the correlation of word’s semantic vectors in the matrix. TPRS: thin plate regression spline. b: the minimum standard deviation for the logb link function. Location: parameter estimating the mean; scale: parameter estimating the variance through the logb link function ().
