LDARep: LDA Replications

In JonasRieger/ldaPrototype: Prototype of Multiple Latent Dirichlet Allocation Runs

LDA Replications

Description

Performs multiple runs of Latent Dirichlet Allocation.

Usage

LDARep(docs, vocab, n = 100, seeds, id = "LDARep", pm.backend, ncpus, ...)

Arguments

docs	[list] Documents as received from LDAprep.
vocab	[character] Vocabularies passed to lda.collapsed.gibbs.sampler. For additional (and necessary) arguments passed, see ellipsis (three-dot argument).
n	[integer(1)] Number of Replications.
seeds	[integer(n)] Random Seeds for each Replication.
id	[character(1)] Name for the computation.
pm.backend	[character(1)] One of "multicore", "socket" or "mpi". If pm.backend is set, parallelStart is called before computation is started and parallelStop is called after.
ncpus	[integer(1)] Number of (physical) CPUs to use. If pm.backend is passed, default is determined by availableCores.
...	additional arguments passed to lda.collapsed.gibbs.sampler. Arguments will be coerced to a vector of length n. Default parameters are alpha = eta = 1/K and num.iterations = 200. There is no default for K.

Details

The function generates multiple LDA runs with the possibility of using parallelization. The integration is done by the parallelMap-package.

The function returns a LDARep object. You can receive results and all other elements of this object with getter functions (see getJob).

Value

[named list] with entries id for computation's name, jobs for the parameter settings and lda for the results itself.
