build_graph: Construct the adjacency matrix for a topic graph
Description
The lasso is used to determine which edges are present in a topic
graph. The original R code was written by David M. Blei and co-authors
and is available together with the C code for fitting the CTM.
Usage
build_graph(x, lambda, and = TRUE)
Arguments
x
Object of class "CTM".
lambda
Numeric in \([0,1]\) indicating the relative bound on
the L1-norm of the parameters.
and
Logical; if TRUE the graph is computed by taking the
intersection of the neighbors, otherwise the union is determined.
Value
Returns an adjacency matrix for the topics versus topics graph.
