    maj.in.min = TRUE, sep.word=NULL)

Arguments

tab

a data frame with one textual variable

num.text

indice of the textual variable

contingence.by

a list with the indices of the variables for which a contingence table is calculated by default a contingence table is calculated for all the variables (except the textual one).

maj.in.min

boolean, if TRUE majuscule are transformed in minuscule

sep.word

cont.table

the contingence table with in rows the categories of the categorical variables (or the couple of categories), and in column the words, and in each cell the number of occurence
