CorporaCoCo-package: Comparing Co-occurrence between corpora.

In CorporaCoCo: Corpora Co-Occurrence Comparison

Comparing Co-occurrence between corpora.

Description

The package implements the method introduced in Wiegand and Hennessey et al. (2017a). It identifies significant difference in co-occurrence counts for a given node or set of nodes across two corpora, using a Fisher’s Exact test.

Details

A good place to start is the ‘Introduction to CorporaCoCo’ vignette. You can open the vignette with vignette("intro", package = "CorporaCoCo").

For a list of all documentation use library(help="CorporaCoCo"). For updates on development versions of the package and documentation, please see the GitHub page.
