Usage

data("galbraith")

Details

The word frequencies are represented as a two-dimensional table: variables (words) in columns, samples (novels) in rows. The frequencies are relative, i.e. the number of occurrences of particular word type was divided by the total number of tokens in a given text.

Source

The novels represented by this dataset are protected by copyright. For that reason, it was not possible to provide the actual texts. Instead, the frequences of the most frequent words are obtained – and those can be freely distributed.
