About complexity

Cyclomatic complexity counts the independent paths through a function: 1 is a straight line, higher is harder to test. R functions only.

Release notes (3.0.6)

Maintenance notice

  • textmineR is now in maintenance-only mode.
  • Future development effort will focus on the successor package tidylda.
  • Bug fixes and CRAN compliance updates may continue as needed, but new features will not be added here.
  • Users starting new projects are encouraged to adopt tidylda.

Updates

This version is a patch where:

  • The C++11 requirement has been removed.
  • Package dependencies in vignettes have been handled more gracefully, to guard against failure to build vignettes during CMD check.
  • Handled class checking with inherits() not if(class(object) == "class").
  • Fixed broken URLs in documentation.
  • Vignettes no longer rely on parallel processing.
