Returns document subsets of a dfm that meet certain conditions,
including direct logical operations on docvars (document-level variables).
dfm_subset functions identically to subset.data.frame,
using non-standard evaluation to evaluate conditions based on the
docvars in the dfm.
dfm_subset(x, subset, select, ...)dfm object to be subsetted
logical expression indicating the documents to keep: missing values are taken as false
expression, indicating the docvars to select from the dfm; or a dfm object, in which case the returned dfm will contain the same documents as the original dfm, even if these are empty. See Details.
not used
dfm object, with a subset of documents (and docvars) selected according to arguments
To select or subset features, see dfm_select instead.
When select is a dfm, then the returned dfm will be equal in
document dimension and order to the dfm used for selection. This is the
document-level version of using dfm_select where
pattern is a dfm: that function matches features, while
dfm_subset will match documents.
