transform_tf: Scale a document-term matrix

Description

This set of functions scales a document-term matrix.

transform_tf: scale a DTM by one of two methods. If norm = "l1", then then dtm_tf = (count of a particular word in the document) / (total number of words in the document). If norm = "l2", then dtm_tf = (count of a particular word in the document) ^ 2 / (total number words in the document) ^ 2.

transform_binary: scale a DTM so that if a cell is 1 if a word appears in the document; otherwise it is 0.

transform_tfidf: scale a DTM so that dtm_idf = log(count of a particular word in a document) / (number of documents where the term appears + 1)

Usage

transform_tf(dtm, sublinear_tf = FALSE, norm = c("l1", "l2"))
transform_tfidf(dtm, idf = NULL, sublinear_tf = FALSE, norm = c("l1", "l2"))
transform_binary(dtm)

Arguments

dtm

a document-term matrix of class dgCMatrix or dgTMatrix.

sublinear_tf

logical, FALSE by default. Apply sublinear term-frequency scaling, i.e., replace the term frequency with 1 + log(TF).

norm

character Type of normalization to apply to term vectors. "l1" by default, i.e., scale by the number of words in the document.

idf

ddiMatrix a diagonal matrix for IDF scaling. See get_idf. If not provided the IDF scaling matrix will be calculated from the matrix passed to dtm.

Functions

• transform_tfidf: Scale a document-term matrix via TF-IDF
• transform_binary: Transform a document-term matrix into binary representation

#  max_number_of_terms = 20000)
# 
# it <- itoken(txt, tolower, word_tokenizer)
# dtm <- create_dtm(it, pruned_vocab)
# 
# dtm_filtered <- dtm %>%
#  # functionality overlaps with prune_vocabulary(),
#  # but still can be useful in some cases
#  # filter out very common and very uncommon terms
#  transform_filter_commons( c(0.001, 0.975) )
# 
# # simple term-frequency transormation
