ngrams: Generate ngrams

Description

Transcript apply ngrams.

Usage

ngrams(text.var, grouping.var = NULL, n = 2, ...)

Value

Returns a list of:

raw

A list of pasted single vectors of the ngrams per row.

group

A list of pasted vectors of ngrams grouped by grouping.var.

unlist1

A list of a single vector of pasted ngrams per grouping.var in the order used.

unlist2

A list of a single vector of pasted ngrams per grouping.var in alphabetical order.

group_n

A list of a list of vectors of ngrams per grouping.var & n (not pasted).

all

A single vector of pasted ngrams sorted alphabetically.

all_n

A list of lists a single vectors of ngrams sorted alphabetically (not pasted).

Arguments

text.var

The text variable

grouping.var

The grouping variables. Default NULL generates one word list for all text. Also takes a single grouping variable or a list of 1 or more grouping variables.

n

The max number of grams calculate

...

Further arguments passed to strip function.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
ngrams(DATA$state, DATA$person, 2)
ngrams(DATA$state, DATA$person, 3)
ngrams(DATA$state, , 3)
with(mraja1, ngrams(dialogue, list(sex, fam.aff), 3))

## Alternative ngram analysis:
n_gram <- function(x, n = 2, sep = " "){

    m <- qdap::bag_o_words(x)
    if (length(m) < n) return(character(0))
    starts <- 1:(length(m) - (n - 1))
    ends <- n:length(m) 
    Map(function(x, y){
            paste(m[x:y], collapse=sep)
        }, starts, ends
    )
}

dat <- sentSplit(DATA, "state")

dat[["grams"]] <- sapply(dat[["state"]], function(x) { 
    unbag(n_gram(x, sep = "~~"))
})

m <- with(dat, as.tdm(grams, person))
rownames(m) <- gsub("~~", " ", rownames(m))
as.matrix(m)
rowSums(as.matrix(m))



dat2 <- sentSplit(raj, "dialogue")

dat2[["grams"]] <- sapply(dat2[["dialogue"]], function(x) { 
    unbag(n_gram(x, sep = "~~"))
})

m2 <- with(dat2, as.tdm(grams, person))
rownames(m2) <- gsub("~~", " ", rownames(m2))
qheat(t(as.matrix(tm:::weightTfIdf(tm::removeSparseTerms(m2, .7)))), high="red")

sort(rowSums(as.matrix(m2)))
}
