make.heldout: Heldout Likelihood by Document Completion

Description

Tools for making and evaluating heldout datasets.

Usage

make.heldout(documents, vocab, N = floor(0.1 * length(documents)),
  proportion = 0.5, seed = NULL)

Arguments

documents

the documents to be modeled (see stm for format).

vocab

the vocabulary item

N

number of docs to be partially held out

proportion

proportion of docs to be held out.

seed

the seed, set for replicability

Details

These functions are used to create and evaluate heldout likelihood using the document completion method. The basic idea is to hold out some fraction of the words in a set of documents, train the model and use the document-level latent variables to evaluate the probability of the heldout portion. See the example for the basic workflow.

Examples

# NOT RUN {
prep <- prepDocuments(poliblog5k.docs, poliblog5k.voc,
                      poliblog5k.meta,subsample=500,
                      lower.thresh=20,upper.thresh=200)
heldout <- make.heldout(prep$documents, prep$vocab)
documents <- heldout$documents
vocab <- heldout$vocab
meta <- prep$meta

stm1<- stm(documents, vocab, 5,
           prevalence =~ rating+ s(day),
           init.type="Random",
           data=meta, max.em.its=5)
eval.heldout(stm1, heldout$missing)
