SentimentAnalysis

<p>The <code>SentimentAnalysis</code> package provides routines to quickly measure
the sentiment of written materials. It ships a dedicated class
SentimentDictionary to store different variants of dictionaries
(including pre-built ones that are ready to go) and helps the
user with routines for constructing domain-specific dictionaries and
evaluating the performance of common rules for analyzing sentiment.</p>

Performs a sentiment analysis of textual contents in R. This implementation
utilizes various existing dictionaries, such as Harvard IV, or finance-specific
dictionaries. Furthermore, it can also create customized dictionaries. The latter
uses LASSO regularization as a statistical approach to select relevant terms based on
an exogenous response variable.
