Returns document subsets of a dfm that meet certain conditions,
including direct logical operations on docvars (document-level variables).
dfm_subset functions identically to subset.data.frame(),
using non-standard evaluation to evaluate conditions based on the
docvars in the dfm.
dfm_subset(x, subset, ...)
| x | dfm object to be subsetted |
|---|---|
| subset | logical expression indicating the documents to keep: missing values are taken as false |
| ... | not used |
dfm object, with a subset of documents (and docvars) selected according to arguments
To select or subset features, see dfm_select() instead.
When select is a dfm, then the returned dfm will be equal in
document dimension and order to the dfm used for selection. This is the
document-level version of using dfm_select() where
pattern is a dfm: that function matches features, while
dfm_subset will match documents.
