mthr is the threshold for the number of occurrences and dthr is the number of words kept after thresholding. P is the percentage of the words in the book that pass the threshold, P = Σi=1dthr mi/L. dconv is the dimension at which a power law is being fit. The absolute values of the negative exponents of the fit are given in the last column, together with their error in parentheses.
