In LDATS: Latent Dirichlet Allocation Coupled with Time Series Analyses

Simulate LDA_TS data from LDA and TS model structures and parameters

Description

For a given set of covariates X; parameters Beta, Eta, rho, and err; and document-specific time stamps tD and lengths N), simulate a document-by-topic matrix. Additional structuring variables (the numbers of topics (k), terms (V), documents (M), segments (S), and covariates per segment (C)) are inferred from input objects.

Usage

sim_LDA_TS_data(N, Beta, X, Eta, rho, tD, err = 0, seed = NULL)

Arguments

N	A vector of document sizes (total word counts). Must be integer conformable. Is used to infer the total number of documents.
Beta	matrix of categorical distribution parameters defining terms within topics. Dimension: k x V (number of topics x number of terms). Used to infer both (k) and (V). Must be non-negative and sum to 1 within topics.
X	matrix of covariates, dimension M (number of documents) x C (number of covariates, including the intercept) (a.k.a the design matrix).
Eta	matrix of regression parameters across the segments, dimension: SC (number of segments x number of covariates, including the intercept) x k (number of topics).
rho	Vector of integer-conformable time locations of changepoints or NULL if no changepoints. Used to determine the number of segments. Must exist within the bounds of the times of the documents, tD.
tD	Vector of integer-conformable times of the documents. Must be of length M (as determined by X).
err	Additive error on the link-scale. Must be a non-negative numeric value. Default value of 0 indicates no error.
seed	Input to set.seed.

Value

A document-by-term matrix of counts (dim: M x V).

Examples

  N <- c(10, 22, 15, 31)
  tD <- c(1, 3, 4, 6)
  rho <- 3
  X <- cbind(rep(1, 4), 1:4)
  Eta <- cbind(c(0.5, 0.3, 0.9, 0.5), c(1.2, 1.1, 0.1, 0.5))
  Beta <- matrix(c(0.1, 0.1, 0.8, 0.2, 0.6, 0.2), 2, 3, byrow = TRUE)
  err <- 1
  sim_LDA_TS_data(N, Beta, X, Eta, rho, tD, err)
