MATTR: Lexical diversity: Moving-Average Type-Token Ratio (MATTR)
Description
This is just a convenient wrapper function for lex.div.
Usage
MATTR(txt, window = 100, char = FALSE, ...)
Value
An object of class kRp.TTR.
Arguments
txt
An object of class kRp.text containing the tagged text to be analyzed.
window
An integer value for MATTR,
defining how many tokens the moving window should include.
char
Logical,
defining whether data for plotting characteristic curves should be calculated.
...
Further valid options for the main function,
see lex.div for details.
Details
This function calculates the moving-average type-token ratio (MATTR). In contrast to
lex.div,
which by default calculates all possible measures and
their progressing characteristics, this function will only calculate the MATTR value.
