match_geo: Match geo code

In kasperwelbers/restecode: Text analysis tools from the Responsible Terrorism Coverage project

Description

If the DTMs used in the compare_documents function contained docvars with geo codes, it can be used to match documents based on their geo code. This can be a single code (e.g., "en") or multiple codes concatenated with a comma (e.g., "en,de") or another seperator defined in the 'sep' argument. A match is TRUE if at least one of the codes in the from document is the same as at least one of the codes in the to document.

Usage

match_geo(g, from_var = "geo", to_var = "geo", sep = ",")

Arguments

g	An edgelist, as created with newsflow.compare
from_var	The name of the geo code column in from_dtm
to_var	The name of the geo code column in to_dtm

Details

The function returns a logical vector indicating if each match in the edge list has a geo match.

Value

A logical vector
