In quanteda.textmodels: Scaling Models and Classifiers for Textual Data

Internal function to fit the likelihood scaling mixture model.

Description

Ken recommends you use textmodel_affinity() instead.

Usage

affinity(p, x, smooth = 0.5, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

p	word likelihoods within classes, estimated from training data
x	term-document matrix for document(s) to be scaled
smooth	a misnamed smoothing parameter, either a scalar or a vector equal in length to the number of documents

Value

a list containing:

• coefficients point estimates of theta

• se (likelihood) standard error of theta

• cov covariance matrix

• smooth values of the smoothing parameter

• support logical indicating if the feature was included

Examples

p <- matrix(c(c(5/6, 0, 1/6), c(0, 4/5, 1/5)), nrow = 3,
            dimnames = list(c("A", "B", "C"), NULL))
theta <- c(.2, .8)
q <- drop(p %*% theta)
x <- 2 * q
(fit <- affinity(p, x))
