Improvement in Statistic Method to Chinese Character Frequency Study.

The statistic method in Chinese character frequency study is an important method on measuring the value of Chinese characters. It is also applicable to the standardization of Chinese characters, the Chinese language teaching, the relevant dictionary compiling, the information management in Chinese, and the development of Chinese character theory.
