Hamlet II: Textual quantitative analysis
Studies in social sciences often make use of quantitative text analysis to analyse trends in data, particularly primary data. Quantitative analyses of textual data help in validation statistics, co-occurrences of words/texts, textual trends, and frequency statistics. A number of tools have been developed to help in textual analyses of text based data. Hamlet II is one of the most efficient and user-friendly ones.
Basics of Hamlet II for quantitative text analysis
Hamlet II helps in quantitative analysis of text. It offers a multidimensional scaling approach. It also serves as computer assisted text analysis. It shows the differences of the basis of types of analyses, and ease of usage. This software allows a range of statistical models such as Jaccard coefficient, Sokal’s matching coefficient, and van Eck and Waltman’s proximity, PINDIS, INDSCAL, MDPREF, MRSCAL and MINISSA. Hamlet II also uses critical algorithms for statistical analysis of text. It is compatible with .doc, .docx, .txt, .csv, .pdf and other common file types.

Word or text based analysis with Hamlet II
This section will explain numerous descriptive analyses that can be performed for quantitative text analysis. The simplest descriptive analysis is text frequency analysis Wordlist. The articles will explain the steps and methods to conduct Wordlist analysis, along with its interpretations. This section also covers articles on steps to form vocabulary list for the transcripts imported to the software. Graphical presentation of the word frequency has also been covered in this module. Next, it covers the steps to analyze keywords in context and joint frequencies in Hamlet II.
