All these experiments are based on some assumptions about the Voynich alphabet.
This doesn't immediately make these experiments invalid, they can be used to test the assumptions.

While Jaskiewicz compares 'anonymous' single character frequencies, Darrin compares trigrams. The method of Jaskiewicz could be used in several different ways to also avoid assumptions about the Voynich alphabet character assignments, but it is a bit more complicated.

What neither analysis allows is the possibility of a verbose mapping, e.g. if two Voynich characters map to a single plain text character (or others). There is also no easy way of doing that of course. Such experiments inevitably involve making many many different choices and/or trying a great (!) number of different options.
