nWS(txt.file, hyphen = NULL,

    nws1 = c(ms = 19.35, sl = 0.1672, iw = 12.97, es = 3.27, const = 0.875),
    nws2 = c(ms = 20.07, sl = 0.1682, iw = 13.73, const = 2.779),
    nws3 = c(ms = 29.63, sl = 0.1905, const = 1.1144),
    nws4 = c(ms = 27.44, sl = 0.2656, const = 1.693), ...)

Arguments

txt.file

Either an object of class kRp.tagged-class, a character vector which must be be a valid path to a file containing the text to be analyzed, or a list of text features. If the latter, c

An object of class kRp.hyphen. If NULL, the text will be hyphenated automatically.

parameters

A numeric vector with named magic numbers, defining the relevant parameters for all formulas of the index.

nws1

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the first of the formulas.

nws2

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the second of the formulas.

nws3

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the third of the formulas.

nws4

A numeric vector with named magic numbers for the fourth of the formulas.

...

Further valid options for the main function, see readability for details.

Value

• An object of class kRp.readability-class.
