Get or set package options for quanteda — quanteda

Get or set global options affecting functions across quanteda.

quanteda_options(..., reset = FALSE, initialize = FALSE)

Arguments

...: options to be set, as key-value pair, same as options(). This may be a list of valid key-value pairs, useful for setting a group of options at once (see examples).
reset: logical; if TRUE, reset all quanteda options to their default values
initialize: logical; if TRUE, reset only the quanteda options that are not already defined. Used for setting initial values when some have been defined previously, such as in .Rprofile.

Value

When called using a key = value pair (where key can be a label or quoted character name)), the option is set and TRUE is returned invisibly.

When called with no arguments, a named list of the package options is returned.

When called with reset = TRUE as an argument, all arguments are options are reset to their default values, and TRUE is returned invisibly.

Details

Currently available options are:

verbose: logical; if TRUE then use this as the default for all functions with a verbose argument
threads: integer; specifies the number of threads to use in parallelized functions; defaults to the maximum number of threads
print_dfm_max_ndoc, print_corpus_max_ndoc, print_tokens_max_ndoc: integer; specify the number of documents to display when using the defaults for printing a dfm, corpus, or tokens object
print_dfm_max_nfeat, print_corpus_max_nchar, print_tokens_max_ntoken: integer; specifies the number of features to display when printing a dfm, the number of characters to display when printing corpus documents, or the number of tokens to display when printing tokens objects
print_dfm_summary: integer; specifies the number of documents to display when using the defaults for printing a dfm
print_dictionary_max_nkey, print_dictionary_max_nval: the number of keys or values (respectively) to display when printing a dictionary
print_kwic_max_nrow: the number of rows to display when printing a kwic object
base_docname: character; stem name for documents that are unnamed when a corpus, tokens, or dfm are created or when a dfm is converted from another object
base_featname: character; stem name for features that are unnamed when they are added, for whatever reason, to a dfm through an operation that adds features
base_compname: character; stem name for components that are created by matrix factorization
language_stemmer: character; language option for char_wordstem(), tokens_wordstem(), and dfm_wordstem()
pattern_hashtag, pattern_username: character; regex patterns for (social media) hashtags and usernames respectively, used to avoid segmenting these in the default internal "word" tokenizer
tokens_block_size: integer; specifies the number of documents to be tokenized at a time in blocked tokenization. When the number is large, tokenization becomes faster but also memory-intensive.
tokens_locale: character; specify locale in stringi boundary detection in tokenization and corpus reshaping. See stringi::stri_opts_brkiter().
tokens_tokenizer_word: character; the current word tokenizer version used as a default for what = "word" in tokens(), one of "word1", "word2", "word3" (same as "word2"), or "word4".
