Homogeneity is a measure of how similar many things are.
Linear Algebra context
…of linear maps
homogeneity is a property of Linear Maps to describe the ability to “factor out” scalars
…of linear equations
A homogenous linear equation is one which the constant term on the right of the equations are \(0\).
homogenous system with more variables than equations has nonzero solutions
Proof: You can imagine the system as a matrix equation:
homset

Honoré's Statistic
Last edited: August 8, 2025Honoré’s Statistic is a statistical measure of vocabulary complexity, it is a test of Semantic Verbal Fluency and is commonly used for cognitive impairment detection.
The statistic is defined as:
\begin{equation} HS = 100 \log \frac{N}{1-\frac{N_{uni}}{U}} \end{equation}
where, \(N\) is the total number of words, \(U\) the total number of distinct words, \(N_{uni}\) the number of total distinct words used only once.
The idea here is that a higher diversity of vocabulary shows higher Semantic Verbal Fluency.
