weightSMART: SMART Weightings

Description

Weight a term-document matrix according to a combination of weights specified in SMART notation.

Usage

weightSMART(m, spec = "nnn", control = list())

Arguments

m

A TermDocumentMatrix in term frequency format.

spec

a character string consisting of three characters. The first letter specifies a term frequency schema, the second a document frequency schema, and the third a normalization schema. See Details for available built-in schemata.

control

a list of control parameters. See Details.

Value

• The weighted matrix.

encoding

UTF-8

Details

Formally this function is of class WeightingFunction with the additional attributes Name and Acronym.

The first letter of spec specifies a weighting schema for term frequencies of m:

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The second letter of spec specifies a weighting schema of document frequencies for m:

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]

The third letter of spec specifies a schema for normalization of m:

[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object] The final result is defined by multiplication of the chosen term frequency component with the chosen document frequency component with the chosen normalization component.
