Description

This is just a convenient wrapper function for readability.

nWS(txt.file, hyphen = NULL, parameters = c(ms.syll = 3, iw.char = 6, es.syll = 1), nws1 = c(ms = 19.35, sl = 0.1672, iw = 12.97, es = 3.27, const  = 0.875), nws2 = c(ms = 20.07, sl = 0.1682, iw = 13.73, const = 2.779), nws3 = c(ms = 29.63, sl = 0.1905, const = 1.1144), nws4 = c(ms = 27.44, sl  = 0.2656, const = 1.693), ...)

Arguments

Either an object of class kRp.tagged-class, a character vector which must be be a valid path to a file containing the text to be analyzed, or a list of text features. If the latter, calculation is done by readability.num.

hyphen

An object of class kRp.hyphen. If NULL, the text will be hyphenated automatically.

parameters

A numeric vector with named magic numbers, defining the relevant parameters for all formulas of the index.

nws1

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the first of the formulas.

nws2

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the second of the formulas.

nws3

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the third of the formulas.

nws4

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the fourth of the formulas.

...

Further valid options for the main function, see readability for details.

Value

An object of class kRp.readability-class.
