version 1.0.8

Improvements

• Accommodates single-category dictionaries.
• Improves input resolution.

version 1.0.7

Features

• Adds dictionary_meta to assess dictionary categories.
• Adds dictionary category coverage reporting to lma_termcat and lma_process.

Bug Fixes

• Correctly applies category selection in read.dic in more cases.

Improvements

• Removes option to download embeddings without terms files; works toward independence between spaces and term map.
• Allows for direct weight discretization from a weighted list dictionary.

version 1.0.6

Features

• Adds conversion of list-representation to sparse matrix to lma_dtm.

Improvements

• Adds overwrite options to download functions.
• lingmatch more flexibly handles pairwise comparisons within groups.
• lma_dtm applies row names where possible.

Bug Fixes

• Corrects handling of multiple groups given all.levels in some cases.
• Adjusts lma_simets pairwise mean for self match.

version 1.0.5

Features

• Adds report_term_match to assess fuzzy terms in dictionaries.

Bug Fixes

• Avoids integer overflow when setting up large comparisons.
• Fixes select.lspace downloaded indicator.
• Catches more invalid regular expressions to avoid crashes from pattern_search.

version 1.0.4

Improvements

• Avoids checking if long texts are files.
• Improves feedback when a directory has not been specified.
• Changes results of singular pairwise comparisons from 1 to NA.

version 1.0.3

Bug Fixes

• Fixes lma_simets vector to matrix comparisons in some cases.
• Fixes lma_dtm tokens.only when one text ends up empty.

version 1.0.2

Features

• Adds options to specify term and category names in read.dic.
• Adds an option to remove unmatched categories or terms in lma_patcat.

Improvements

• Improves input-handling of dictionaries.
• Enables term exclusions for token-only lma_dtm.
• Makes output formats more consistent.
• Handles special-character conversion on misencoded text.
• Better handles unrecognized weight and metric names.
• Handles inconsistently named dictionaries.

Bug Fixes

• Fixes lma_dtm token to dtm conversion when final token indices entries are empty.
• Appropriately allows read.dic to read urls.
• Term weights correctly default to count given an empty weight.
• Adds the pois.x argument to lma_weight to allow for separately specified augment alphas and d/ppois quantiles or probabilities.
• Corrects handling of empty texts in some cases.
• Corrects lma_process routing and argument passing in some cases.

version 1.0.1

Bug Fixes

• Avoids a compilation issue on older macOS platforms.
• Avoids factor-related issues when the stringsAsFactors option is TRUE.
