A primarily internal function for calculating words according to the lift metric.
We expect most users will use labelTopics
instead.

logbeta |
a K by V matrix containing the log probabilities of seeing word v conditional on topic k |
wordcounts |
a V length vector indicating the number of times each word appears in the corpus. |
Lift is the calculated by dividing the topic-word distribution by the empirical word count probability distribution. In other words the Lift for word v in topic k can be calculated as:
Lift = β/wbar
We include this after seeing it used effectively in Matt Taddy's work including his excellent maptpx package. Definitions are given in Taddy(2012).
