RollingLDA Object

Description

Constructor for RollingLDA objects used in this package. The function may be useful to create a RollingLDA object out of a standard LDA object to use it as initial model and update it using updateRollingLDA.

Usage

as.RollingLDA(x, id, lda, docs, dates, vocab, chunks, param)

is.RollingLDA(obj, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

`x`	[`named list`] `RollingLDA` object. Alternatively each element can be passed for individual results. Individually set elements overwrite elements from `x`.
`id`	[`character(1)`] Name for the computation/model.
`lda`	[`named list`] `LDA` object.
`docs`	[`named list`] Texts in a preprocessed format. See `LDAprep`.
`dates`	[`(un)named Date`] Dates of the texts. If unnamed, it must match the order of docs.
`vocab`	[`character`] Vocabularies.
`chunks`	[`data.table`] with specifications for each model chunk `chunk.id` [`integer`] Index counting up starting with `0`. `start.date` [`Date`] Minimum of each chunk's dates. `end.date` [`Date`] Maximum of each chunk's dates. `memory` [`Date`] Date from which texts are considered as memory. `n` [`integer`] Number of fitted texts. `n.dicsarded` [`integer`] Number of lost texts through preprocessing. `n.memory` [`integer`] Number of texts considered as memory. `n.vocab` [`integer`] Number of vocabularies (monotonously increasing). If not passed, `lda` is interpreted as initialization chunk.
`param`	[`named list(4)`] Parameters of the object, i.e. parameters for future updates fitted on the to be created model. List always should contain names "vocab.abs", "vocab.rel", "vocab.fallback" and "doc.abs".
`obj`	[`R` object] Object to test.
`verbose`	[`logical(1)`] Should test information be given in the console?

Details

If you call as.RollingLDA on an object x which already is of the structure of an RollingLDA object (in particular a RollingLDA object itself), the additional arguments id, param, ... may be used to override the specific elements.

Value

[named list] RollingLDA object.

Examples

roll_lda = RollingLDA(texts = economy_texts,
                      dates = economy_dates,
                      chunks = "quarter",
                      memory = "3 quarter",
                      init = "2008-07-03",
                      K = 10,
                      type = "lda")

is.RollingLDA(roll_lda, verbose = TRUE)
getID(roll_lda)
roll_lda = as.RollingLDA(roll_lda, id = "newID")
getID(roll_lda)
