Description

Returns the first n rows and first k columns of the co-occurrence matrix stored in a dsm object. If a scored matrix is available, it is automatically used; otherwise the raw frequencies are shown.

Arguments

x	an object of class dsm
n	a single integer specifying the number of rows to extract
k	a single integer specifying the number of columns to extract (default: same as number of rows)
...	all other arguments are silently ignored

Details

Note that in contrast to other head methods, negative values of n (and k) are not supported. There is also currently no corresponding tail method.

Value

A dense or sparse co-occurrence matrix with n rows and k columns.
