Calculate the exclusivity of each topic in a topic model

Description

Using the the N highest probability tokens for each topic, calculate the exclusivity for each topic

Usage

topic_exclusivity(topic_model, top_n_tokens = 10, excl_weight = 0.5)

Arguments

topic_model	a fitted topic model object from one of the following: tm-class
top_n_tokens	an integer indicating the number of top words to consider, the default is 10
excl_weight	a numeric between 0 and 1 indicating the weight to place on exclusivity versus frequency in the calculation, 0.5 is the default

Value

A vector of exclusivity values with length equal to the number of topics in the fitted model
