skipgram_append: Append Skipgram Presence Variables to Dataset

Description

Adds new variables to data which report the presence of skipgrams (either those specified in skipgrams2append or, if not specified, skipgrams with a minimum frequency (min_freq, default = 1)).

Usage

skipgram_append(skipgram_tokens, skipgrams2append, data, id_var, min_freq = 1)

Value

data with additional variables describing presence of skipgrams

Arguments

skipgram_tokens

Output of skipgram_identify.

skipgrams2append

Which skipgrams in skipgram_tokens to append to dataset.

data

Data frame to append skipgram variables to.

id_var

An unquoted expression which corresponds to a variable in data which identifies each row.

min_freq

Minimum percentage frequency of skipgram occurrence to return. Default = 1.
