Match the feature set of a dfm to a specified vector of feature names.
For existing features in x for which there is an exact match for an
element of features, these will be included. Any features in x
not features will be discarded, and any feature names specified in
features but not found in x will be added with all zero counts.
dfm_match(x, features)
| x | a dfm |
|---|---|
| features | character; the feature names to be matched in the output dfm |
A dfm whose features are identical to those specified in
features.
Selecting on another dfm's featnames() is useful when you
have trained a model on one dfm, and need to project this onto a test set
whose features must be identical. It is also used in
bootstrap_dfm().
Unlike dfm_select(), this function will add feature names
not already present in x. It also provides only fixed,
case-sensitive matches. For more flexible feature selection, see
dfm_select().
