idiosync_participant_words: Idiosyncratic Participant Words
In nlanderson9/languagePredictR: Predict Outcomes from Natural Language

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also Examples

This function identifies participants' words that are idiosyncratic (i.e. used multiple times by a single participant, and never by any other participant). It can also be used to remove these words.

idiosync_participant_words(
  inputDataframe,
  mode,
  textColumnName,
  participantColumnName
)

`inputDataframe`	A dataframe containing a column with text data (character strings) and participant IDs
`mode`	This defines the mode of operation. Options include "output", "remove", or "both". See Details below.
`textColumnName`	A string consisting of the name of the column in `inputDataframe` which contains text data
`participantColumnName`	A string consisting of the name of the column in `inputDataframe` which contains participant IDs

This function has three modes: In the "output" mode, a dataframe is produced with three columns: the participant who produced the idiosyncratic words, the words, and how frequently they are used by the participant. In the "remove" mode, a character string (or vector of character strings) is produced, where all of the idiosyncratic words are removed. In the "both" mode, both of the above results will be produced (i.e. a list containing a dataframe of idiosyncratic words, as well as the text with those words removed)

A dataframe (mode="output"), a character string or vector of character strings (mode="remove"), or a two-object list containing both results (mode="both")
