filter.corpus: Return documents with matching conditions

In quanteda/quanteda.tidy: Tidyverse extensions to the quanteda

Return documents with matching conditions

Description

Use filter() to select documents where conditions evaluated on document variables are true. Documents where the condition evaluates to NA are dropped. A tidy replacement for corpus_subset().

Usage

## S3 method for class 'corpus'
filter(.data, ..., .preserve = FALSE)

Arguments

.data	a quanteda object whose documents will be filtered
...	Logical predicates defined in terms of the document variables in .data, or a condition supplied externally whose length matches ⁠the number of ⁠ndoc(.data)'. See filter.
.preserve	Relevant when the .data input is grouped. If .preserve = FALSE (the default), the grouping structure is recalculated based on the resulting data, otherwise the grouping is kept as is.

Examples

data_corpus_inaugural %>%
    filter(Year < 1810) %>%
    summary()
