MATTR: Lexical diversity: Moving-Average Type-Token Ratio (MATTR)

In koRpus: Text Analysis with Emphasis on POS Tagging, Readability, and Lexical Diversity

Description

This is just a convenient wrapper function for lex.div.

Usage

MATTR(txt, window = 100, char = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

txt	An object of class kRp.text containing the tagged text to be analyzed.
window	An integer value for MATTR, defining how many tokens the moving window should include.
char	Logical, defining whether data for plotting characteristic curves should be calculated.
...	Further valid options for the main function, see lex.div for details.

Details

This function calculates the moving-average type-token ratio (MATTR). In contrast to lex.div, which by default calculates all possible measures and their progressing characteristics, this function will only calculate the MATTR value.

Value

An object of class kRp.TTR.
