cross-entropy with OOV

Dear experts,

I need to compute entropy with OOV words...

For example..
If  we have dict_size diffrent words in training corpora
then for test corpora (per word)

entr2  = entr1 +
stats.numOOVs*log2(dict_size_train_corpora)/num_words_test_corpora

entr1 = log2(ppl1)

But in C++ code TextStats.cc I don't know how to get  Dict_size_train_corpora
to compute this.

Dict_size_train_corpora = number_unigrams_train_corpora

Anybody help?

Thanx in advance!
