dispersion-method: Dispersion of a query or multiple queries

In nrauscher/corpus: Toolkit for Corpus Analysis

Description

The function returns the frequencies of a query or a multiple queries in sub-partitions defined by one or two dimensions. This is a wrapper function, so the output will depend on the number of queries and dimensions provided.

Usage

dispersion(.Object, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'partition'
dispersion(.Object, query, sAttribute, cqp = FALSE,
  pAttribute = getOption("polmineR.pAttribute"), freq = FALSE, mc = FALSE,
  progress = TRUE, verbose = FALSE)

## S4 method for signature 'character'
dispersion(.Object, query, sAttribute, cqp = FALSE,
  pAttribute = getOption("polmineR.pAttribute"), freq = FALSE, mc = FALSE,
  progress = TRUE, verbose = TRUE)

## S4 method for signature 'hits'
dispersion(.Object, sAttribute, freq = FALSE)

Arguments

.Object	a partition object
...	further parameters
query	a character vector containing one or multiple queries
sAttribute	a character vector of length 1 or 2 providing the sAttributes
cqp	if logical, whether the query is a CQP query (TRUE/FALSE), if it is a function that is passed in, the function will be applied to the query to guess whether query is a CQP query
pAttribute	the p-attribute that will be looked up, typically 'word' or 'lemma'
freq	logical, whether to calculate normalized frequencies
mc	logical, whether to use multicore
progress	logical, whether to shop progress
verbose	logical, whether to be verbose

Value

depends on the input, as this is a wrapper function

    pAttribute = "word", sAttribute = "text_date"
    )
  integration <- dispersion(
    test, "Integration",
    sAttribute = c("text_date", "text_party")
