tokens_subset: Extract a subset of a tokens

In quanteda/quanteda: Quantitative Analysis of Textual Data

Extract a subset of a tokens

Description

Returns document subsets of a tokens that meet certain conditions, including direct logical operations on docvars (document-level variables). tokens_subset() functions identically to subset.data.frame(), using non-standard evaluation to evaluate conditions based on the docvars in the tokens.

Usage

tokens_subset(
  x,
  subset,
  min_ntoken = NULL,
  max_ntoken = NULL,
  drop_docid = TRUE,
  verbose = quanteda_options("verbose"),
  ...
)

Arguments

x	tokens object to be subsetted.
subset	logical expression indicating the documents to keep: missing values are taken as false.
min_ntoken, max_ntoken	minimum and maximum lengths of the documents to extract.
drop_docid	if TRUE, docid for documents are removed as the result of subsetting.
verbose	if TRUE print the number of tokens and documents before and after the function is applied. The number of tokens does not include paddings.
...	not used

Value

tokens object, with a subset of documents (and docvars) selected according to arguments

Examples

corp <- corpus(c(d1 = "a b c d", d2 = "a a b e",
                 d3 = "b b c e", d4 = "e e f a b"),
                 docvars = data.frame(grp = c(1, 1, 2, 3)))
toks <- tokens(corp)
# selecting on a docvars condition
tokens_subset(toks, grp > 1)
# selecting on a supplied vector
tokens_subset(toks, c(TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE))
