... algorithmically from a sample of musical examples, using a statistical grammar induction technique known as hidden Markov models (HMMs). The two fundamental assumptions of HMMs—termed finite memory and stationarity —are analyzed to show that the framework is expressive enough to capture a broad range of syntactic...

Using formal statistical analysis, I show that these similarities can be traced back to the expositions' information...
Of Beginnings and Ends: A Corpus-Based Inquiry into the Rise of the Recapitulation
Yoel Greenberg
...Yoel Greenberg This article investigates the sources of the recapitulation using statistical methods. The recapitulation has traditionally been viewed as an expansion of small ternary forms, resulting in a top-down approach, whereby the repeat of expositional material is explained in rotational...
