To analyze the QQ log:

1. Install Perl and R;

2. Export QQ log and put these scripts in the same directory;

3. Sequentially run the following scripts: generate_data.pl
   transform_data.pl
   integrate_words_by_day.pl
   time_serial.pl
   time_freq.pl
   chat.pl
   These scripts will generate new files in the same directory;

4. Open plots.R file, change the directory path in the front line, and draw figures visualizing conversation patterns;

5. Open tests.R file, change the directory path in the front line, and draw statistical conclustions.
