word_position: Word Position

In qdap: Bridging the Gap Between Qualitative Data and Quantitative Analysis

Word Position

Description

Find counts of the positioning of words within a sentence.

Usage

word_position(
  text.var,
  match.terms,
  digits = 2,
  percent = TRUE,
  zero.replace = 0,
  ...
)

Arguments

text.var	The text variable.
match.terms	A character vector of quoted terms to find the positions of.
digits	Integer; number of decimal places to round when printing.
percent	logical. If TRUE output given as percent. If FALSE the output is proportion.
zero.replace	Value to replace 0 values with.
...	Currently ignored.

Value

Returns a list, of class "word_position", of data frames and information regarding word positions:

raw	raw word position counts in long format (may be more useful for plotting)
count	integer word position counts
prop	proportional word position counts; proportional to each total word uses
rnp	a character combination data frame of count and proportional
zero_replace	value to replace zeros with; mostly internal use
percent	The value of percent used for plotting purposes.
digits	integer value of number of digits to display; mostly internal use

Note

Default printing is a heatmap plot.
