Main toolbar and other tasks

As the image above shows, clicking on ‘Hamlet’ on task bar will open up a new dialog box that allows joint textual frequency tests.
Clicking on ‘MDS’ (multidimensional scaling) will display a detailed list of all the analyses that can be performed in Hamlet II.

Clicking on ‘LDA’ (Latent Dirichlet Allocation) will display the files enable creation and editing of a stop list for reading the texts selected or opening an existing stop list file.
On the other hand, 6th is for Singular Value Decomposition whereby allows matrix analysis of profiles of documents or context units by word. 7th, however, presents correspondence analysis and the tasks applicable listed in the drop-down menu, 8th helps in cluster analysis and its other tools, 9th for tools, the most important helps in frequency analysis, 10th helps in setting language identification along with the list of all the languages that’s detectable by the Hamlet Software II. Furthermore, The help and home page button or option are present just beside the language tool.
The interface of Hamlet II comprises of many advanced analyses possibilities for textual data. The Hamlet, however, is also responsible for graphical analyses of the textual data. The next will cover modes of the collection of data and other technical information.
