According to the Wikipedia:
It is based on an analysis of the Oxford English Corpus of over a billion 
words, and represents one study done by Oxford Online, associated with the 
Oxford English Dictionary. This source includes writings of all sorts from 
"literary novels and specialist journals to everyday newspapers and magazines 
and from Hansard to the language of chatrooms, emails, and weblogs".
