+"""Word frequency sophistication metrics for vocabulary analysis.
+
+This module measures vocabulary sophistication by analyzing how common or rare
+the words in a text are, based on reference frequency lists from large corpora.
+Authors who consistently use less frequent (more sophisticated) vocabulary
+will score higher on these metrics.

+        #15 - Word Frequency Sophistication Metrics
+        https://github.com/craigtrim/pystylometry/issues/15
+
+    Sophistication is a key indicator of writing quality and expertise:
+        - Academic writing uses more low-frequency, technical words
+        - Fiction uses moderate-frequency, descriptive words
+        - Journalism uses high-frequency, accessible words
+        - Authors with larger vocabularies use rarer words
+        - Native speakers use different frequency profiles than learners
+
+    Applications:
+        - Assessing vocabulary richness beyond simple TTR
+        - Comparing writing sophistication across authors or genres
+        - Tracking vocabulary development over time
+        - Identifying register (formal vs. informal)
+        - Detecting text difficulty level
+
+    Frequency bands (example for 100,000-word corpus):
+        - Very common: Rank 1-1,000 (top 1%)
+        - Common: Rank 1,001-5,000 (top 5%)
+        - Moderate: Rank 5,001-10,000 (top 10%)
+        - Rare: Rank 10,001-20,000 (top 20%)
+        - Very rare: Rank 20,001+ (bottom 80%)
+
+    Args:
+        text: Input text to analyze. Should contain at least 50+ words
+              for meaningful statistics. Shorter texts may have unreliable
+              sophistication metrics.
+        frequency_corpus: Reference corpus to use for frequency data.
+                          Options: "coca", "bnc", "google_ngrams", "subtlex"
+                          Default is "coca" (Corpus of Contemporary American English).
+        rare_threshold: Frequency rank threshold for "rare" words. Words with
+                        rank > rare_threshold are considered rare. Default 10,000.
+        common_threshold: Frequency rank threshold for "common" words. Words with
+                          rank <= common_threshold are considered common. Default 1,000.
+
+    Returns:
+        WordFrequencySophisticationResult containing:
+            - mean_frequency_rank: Average frequency rank (lower = more common)
+            - median_frequency_rank: Median frequency rank
+            - rare_word_ratio: Proportion of words beyond rare_threshold
+            - common_word_ratio: Proportion of words within common_threshold
+            - academic_word_ratio: Proportion of Academic Word List words
+            - advanced_word_ratio: Proportion of sophisticated vocabulary
+            - frequency_band_distribution: Distribution across frequency bands
+            - rarest_words: Least frequent words with their ranks
+            - most_common_words: Most frequent words with their ranks
+            - metadata: Corpus info, thresholds, counts, etc.
+
+    Example:
+        >>> result = compute_word_frequency_sophistication("Sample academic text...")
+        >>> print(f"Mean frequency rank: {result.mean_frequency_rank:.1f}")
+        Mean frequency rank: 4523.7
+        >>> print(f"Rare word ratio: {result.rare_word_ratio:.3f}")
+        Rare word ratio: 0.234
+        >>> print(f"Academic words: {result.academic_word_ratio:.3f}")
+        Academic words: 0.156
+
+        >>> # Compare authors
+        >>> author1 = compute_word_frequency_sophistication("Text by author 1...")
+        >>> author2 = compute_word_frequency_sophistication("Text by author 2...")
+        >>> print(f"Author 1 mean rank: {author1.mean_frequency_rank:.1f}")
+        >>> print(f"Author 2 mean rank: {author2.mean_frequency_rank:.1f}")
+        >>> # Lower rank = uses more common words
+
+    Note:
+        - Frequency ranks are corpus-specific (COCA ranks differ from BNC ranks)
+        - Words not in reference corpus are assigned maximum rank + 1
+        - Case-insensitive matching (all words lowercased)
