In serrat839/package: Makes Markov Chains from Tweets

mRkov

Functionality

This R package allows users to load in data via twitter or text file, and then perform analysis of said data. There are two functions that allow users to load data:

# Scrape a twitter user's timeline
tweet_gettr()
# Read from a local text file
read_text_file()

After storing this data in a variable, users can then pass it to our make_sentence() function or make_wordcloud function to simulate or visualize the loaded data.

Install Instructions

# install.packages("devtools")
library(devtools)
install_github("serrat839/mRkov")

Short tutorial

# Load the package
library(mRkov)

# Select a twitter handle and save to a variable. API keys are pre-loaded for a dummy twitter account.
tweets <- tweet_gettr("@realDonaldTrump")

# Query our variable to make a sentence
make_sentence(tweets)

# Make a wordcloud
make_wordcloud(tweets)
