Description

This is just a convenient wrapper function for readability.

Usage

danielson.bryan(
  txt.file,
  db1 = c(cpb = 1.0364, cps = 0.0194, const = 0.6059),
  db2 = c(const = 131.059, cpb = 10.364, cps = 0.194),
  ...
)

Arguments

txt.file

A numeric vector with named magic numbers, defining the relevant parameters for the first formula (regression).

db2

...

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

An object of class kRp.readability.

Details

Calculates the two Danielson-Bryan formulas. In contrast to readability, which by default calculates all possible indices, this function will only calculate the index value.

This formula doesn't need syllable count.
