NNS.term.matrix: NNS Term Matrix

In NNS: Nonlinear Nonparametric Statistics

NNS Term Matrix

Description

Generates a term matrix for text classification use in NNS.reg.

Usage

NNS.term.matrix(x, oos = NULL)

Arguments

x	mixed data.frame; character/numeric; A two column dataset should be used. Concatenate text from original sources to comply with format. Also note the possibility of factors in "DV", so "as.numeric(as.character(...))" is used to avoid issues.
oos	mixed data.frame; character/numeric; Out-of-sample text dataset to be classified.

Value

Returns the text as independent variables "IV" and the classification as the dependent variable "DV". Out-of-sample independent variables are returned with "OOS".

Examples

## Not run: 
x <- data.frame(cbind(c("sunny", "rainy"), c(1, -1)))
NNS.term.matrix(x)

### Concatenate Text with space separator, cbind with "DV"
x <- data.frame(cbind(c("sunny", "rainy"), c("windy", "cloudy"), c(1, -1)))
x <- data.frame(cbind(paste(x[ , 1], x[ , 2], sep = " "), as.numeric(as.character(x[ , 3]))))
NNS.term.matrix(x)

### NYT Example
require(RTextTools)
data(NYTimes)

### Concatenate Columns 3 and 4 containing text, with column 5 as DV
NYT <- data.frame(cbind(paste(NYTimes[ , 3], NYTimes[ , 4], sep = " "),
                     as.numeric(as.character(NYTimes[ , 5]))))
NNS.term.matrix(NYT)
