Merge Rows or Columns from Different DSM Objects (wordspace)

Description

Warning: this function is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of wordspace. It may be re-introduced later with different semantics.

Usage


  ## S3 method for class 'dsm'
merge(x, y, ..., rows=TRUE, all=FALSE, term.suffix=NULL)

Arguments

x, y, ...

two or more objects of class dsm to be merged

rows

whether to merge rows (TRUE, default) or columns (FALSE) of the DSM matrices

all

if FALSE (default), only features shared by all DSMs are included in the merged DSM (or target terms with rows=FALSE). If TRUE, all features are included with missing frequency / score values replaced by zero (analogously for target terms with rows=FALSE). This option is not implemented yet.

term.suffix

optional character vector specifying one suffix string for each DSM, which will be appended to row (rows=TRUE) or column (rows=FALSE) labels in order to make them unique

Value

if term.suffix is specified, row information of returned DSM object will be extended with variables orig.term specifying the original terms and orig.part specifying the original component model (identified by the corresponding entry from term.suffix)
