//! Error model for spelling correction using the noisy channel approach
//!
//! This module implements an error model for the noisy channel approach to spelling
//! correction. It models how words can be transformed into other words through
//! edit operations like insertion, deletion, substitution, and transposition.
//!
//! # Key Components
//!
//! - `ErrorModel`: Models the probability of different types of spelling errors
//! - `EditOp`: Represents edit operations like insertion, deletion, substitution, and transposition
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use scirs2_text::spelling::ErrorModel;
//!
//! # fn main() {
//! // Create a default error model
//! let error_model = ErrorModel::default();
//!
//! // Calculate error probability (typo → correct)
//! let p1 = error_model.error_probability("recieve", "receive");
//! let p2 = error_model.error_probability("teh", "the");
//!
//! // Simple edits have higher probabilities
//! assert!(p1 > 0.0);
//! assert!(p2 > 0.0);
//!
//! // Identical words have probability 1.0
//! assert_eq!(error_model.error_probability("word", "word"), 1.0);
//! # }
//! ```
