=head1 NAME

Text::Tradition::Analysis - functions for stemma analysis of a tradition

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Text::Tradition;
  use Text::Tradition::Analysis qw/ run_analysis analyze_variant_location /;
  my $t = Text::Tradition->new( 
    'name' => 'this is a text',
    'input' => 'TEI',
    'file' => '/path/to/tei_parallel_seg_file.xml' );
  $t->add_stemma( 'dotfile' => $stemmafile );

  my $variant_data = run_analysis( $tradition );
  # Recalculate rank $n treating all orthographic variants as equivalent
  my $reanalyze = analyze_variant_location( $tradition, $n, 0, 'orthographic' );
    
=head1 DESCRIPTION

Text::Tradition is a library for representation and analysis of collated
texts, particularly medieval ones.  The Collation is the central feature of
a Tradition, where the text, its sequence of readings, and its relationships
between readings are actually kept.

=head1 SUBROUTINES

=head2 run_analysis( $tradition, %opts )

Runs the analysis described in analyze_variant_location on every location in the 
collation of the given tradition, with the given options. These include:

=over 4

=item * stemma_id - Specify which of the tradition's stemmata to use. Default
is 0 (i.e. the first).

=item * ranks - Specify a list of location ranks to analyze; exclude the rest.

=item * merge_types - Specify a list of relationship types, where related readings 
should be treated as identical for the purposes of analysis.

Groups the variants at the given $rank of the collation, treating any

be a reference to an array, to which the sigla of lacunose witnesses at this

Returns two ordered lists $readings, $groups, where $readings->[$n] is attested

conflict, reading_parents, independent_occurrence, followed, not_followed, and follow_unknown.  Alters the location_hash in place.

=head2 perl_solver( $tradition, $rank, $stemma_id, @merge_relationship_types )

** NOTE ** This method should hopefully not be called - it is not guaranteed 
to be correct.  Serves as a backup for the real solver.

Runs an analysis of the given tradition, at the location given in $rank, 
against the graph of the stemma specified in $stemma_id.  The argument 
@merge_relationship_types is an optional list of relationship types for
which readings so related should be treated as equivalent.

Returns a nested array data structure as follows:

 [ [ group_list, is_genealogical ], [ group_list, is_genealogical ] ... ]
 
where the group list is the array of arrays passed in for each element of @groups,
possibly with the addition of hypothetical readings.
