ngram_collocations: Ngram Collocations

In trinker/termco: Counts of Terms and Substrings

Description

Find a important ngram (2-3) collocations. Wraps collocations to provide stopword, min/max characters, and stemming with a generic plot function.

Usage

ngram_collocations(
  text.var,
  n = 20,
  gram.length = 2:3,
  stopwords = stopwords::stopwords("english"),
  min.char = 4,
  max.char = Inf,
  order.by = "frequency",
  stem = FALSE,
  language = "porter",
  ...
)

Arguments

text.var	A vector of character strings.
n	The number of rows to include.
gram.length	The length of ngram to generate (2-3).
stopwords	A vector of stopwords to exclude.
min.char	The minimum number of characters a word must be (including apostrophes) for inclusion.
max.char	The maximum number of characters a word must be (including apostrophes) for inclusion.
order.by	The name of the measure column to order by: "frequency", "G2", "X2", "pmi", "dice".
stem	logical. If TRUE the wordStem is used with language = "porter" as the default. Note that stopwords will be stemmed as well.
language	The stem language to use (see wordStem).
...	Other arguments passed to collocations.

Value

Retuns a data.frame of terms and frequencies.
