Compute a score based on the number of matching terms.

Usage

## S3 method for class 'DocumentTermMatrix'
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = row_sums)
## S3 method for class 'PlainTextDocument'
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = function(x) sum(x, na.rm = TRUE))
## S3 method for class 'term_frequency'
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = function(x) sum(x, na.rm = TRUE))
## S3 method for class 'TermDocumentMatrix'
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = col_sums)

Arguments

x	Either a PlainTextDocument, a term frequency as returned by termFreq, or a TermDocumentMatrix.
terms	A character vector of terms to be matched.
FUN	A function computing a score from the number of terms matching in x.

Value

A score as computed by FUN from the number of matching terms in x.
