Maintained by Doug FriedmanCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Issues ↗

Calculates topic-specific diagnostics (e.g. mean token length, exclusivity) for Latent Dirichlet Allocation and Correlated Topic Models fit using the 'topicmodels' package. For more details, see Chapter 12 in Airoldi et al. (2014, ISBN:9781466504080), pp 262-272 Mimno et al. (2011, ISBN:9781937284114), and Bischof et al. (2014) arXiv:1206.4631v1.

Changes in 0.1.1

Minor patch to address CRAN NOTEs

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)

install.packages("topicdoc", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("doug-friedman/topicdoc")

Development version from doug-friedman/topicdoc. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-topicdoc

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-topicdoc

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
