For a dfm object, returns a (weighted) document frequency for each term. The default is a simple count of the number of documents in which a feature occurs more than a given frequency threshold. (The default threshold is zero, meaning that any feature occurring at least once in a document will be counted.)
docfreq( x, scheme = c("count", "inverse", "inversemax", "inverseprob", "unary"), base = 10, smoothing = 0, k = 0, threshold = 0 )
x | a dfm |
---|---|
scheme | type of document frequency weighting, computed as follows, where \(N\) is defined as the number of documents in the dfm and \(s\) is the smoothing constant:
|
base | the base with respect to which logarithms in the inverse document frequency weightings are computed; default is 10 (see Manning, Raghavan, and Schütze 2008, p123). |
smoothing | added to the quotient before taking the logarithm |
k | added to the denominator in the "inverse" weighting types, to prevent a zero document count for a term |
threshold | numeric value of the threshold above which a feature will considered in the computation of document frequency. The default is 0, meaning that a feature's document frequency will be the number of documents in which it occurs greater than zero times. |
a numeric vector of document frequencies for each feature
