A wrapper function to spell-check with menu options
word.check.wrapper(
word,
dictionary,
context = NULL,
part.resp,
tolerance = 1,
rem.resp
)Character. A word to get spell-checked
A dictionary to look for word in (see examples).
See SemNetDictionaries
Vector.
Defaults to NULL.
When a word is inside of a vector of words, then the vector
can be input to provide context for whether this word is spelled
correctly with other words. For example, "guinea" is spelled correctly
but will not be in animals.dictionary. The vector
can be input to determine if "guinea pig" or "guinea fowl" is meant by the
participant. The word that is being checked will appear with "<<" and ">>" around
it in the context of other words (e.g., bat dog fish <<guinea>> pig rat horse)
Matrix or data frame. Uncleaned participant response matrix
Numeric.
The distance tolerance set for automatic spell-correction purposes.
This function uses the function stringdist
to compute the Damerau-Levenshtein
(DL) distance, which is used to determine potential best guesses.
Unique words (i.e., n = 1) that are within the (distance) tolerance are
automatically output as best.guess responses, which are then passed through
word.check.wrapper. If there is more than one word
that is within or below the distance tolerance, then these will be provided as potential
options.
The recommended and default distance tolerance is tolerance = 1,
which only spell corrects a word if there is only one word with a DL distance of 1.
Matrix. Keeps track of decisions made in the cleaning process
A list containing:
The spelling corrected word
The updated dictionary
A check for whether a word has been added to the dictionary
A matrix to remember previous responses for spelling corrections
A menu will appear with several options. Here is what is returned with each option:
POTENTIAL RESPONSE If a potential response is selected, then the input word is replaced with the potential response
ADD TO DICTIONARY
When selected, the input word will be
added to the appendix dictionary (see append.dictionary).
The input word will be returned
TYPE MY OWN
User will type their own response to replace the input
word. If word is not in dictionary, then user will be prompted for whether
they would like to add the word to their appendix dictionary
(see append.dictionary).
In all cases, the typed word will be returned
CONTEXT Provides the response in context of the participant's other responses. Prints the all participants responses that were given with the target response
GOOGLE IT "Googles" the response in question. A browser will open with the Google search terms: define "RESPONSE"
BAD RESPONSE
When selected, NA will be returned
SKIP When selected, input word will be returned
BAD STRING
Unique to continuous strings.
When selected, a vector of NA the length of the
context vector will be returned
CONTEXT Unique to single responses. Provides the response in context of the participant's other responses. Prints the all participants responses that were given with the target response
