least highly) correlated with the linguistic feature f .
we compute the relative position x of each pivot that occurs in the verse and apply a Gaussian filter (σ = 6 where the unit of length is the character), i.e., we set p(x) ≈ 0.066 (0.066 is the density of a Gaussian with σ = 6 at x = 0) and center a bell curve around x.
