corp.plot: Time series plot of document frequency

In JSmith146/CoRpEx: CorpEx is Designed for the Exploration and Mining of Large Textual Corpuses of Documents

Description

Produces a time series plot of the frequency of documents within a corpus by publication date.

Usage

corp.plot(data.td)

Arguments

data.td

A tidy dataset

Details

This function first identifies dates listed in the date column. It then sums the number of documents associated with each identified calendar date and generates a line plot for visual representation of these findings. This output is useful in highlighting increases in document production, which may identify blocks of time in which interesting events may have occurred. Using the 'iso.date' function, these observed increases can be converted into subset corpuses used for further analysis.

Value

Time series line plot of documents in data.td by day
