weight

Automates many of the tasks associated with quantitative discourse analysis of transcripts containing discourse
including frequency counts of sentence types, words, sentences, turns of talk, syllables and other assorted
analysis tasks. The package provides parsing tools for preparing transcript data. Many functions enable the user
to aggregate data by any number of grouping variables, providing analysis and seamless integration with other R
packages that undertake higher level analysis and visualization of text. This affords the user a more efficient
and targeted analysis. 'qdap' is designed for transcript analysis, however, many functions are applicable to other
areas of Text Mining/ Natural Language Processing.

weight function

<dl><dt>x</dt>
<dd>A qdap object with a weight method.</dd>
<dt>type</dt>
<dd>A weighting type of: c(<code>"scale_log"</code>, <code>"scale"</code>, 
<code>"rev_scale"</code>, <code>"rev_scale_log"</code>, <code>"log"</code>, <code>"sqrt"</code>, 
<code>"scale_sqrt"</code>, <code>"rev_sqrt"</code>, <code>"rev_scale_sqrt"</code>). The 
weight type section name (i.e. <code>A_B_C</code> where <code>A</code>, <code>B</code>, and
<code>C</code> are sections) determines what action will occur. <code>log</code> will 
use <code><a href="/link/log?package=qdap&version=2.4.6" data-mini-rdoc="qdap::log">log</a></code>, <code>sqrt</code> will use <code><a href="/link/sqrt?package=qdap&version=2.4.6" data-mini-rdoc="qdap::sqrt">sqrt</a></code>,
<code>scale</code> will standardize the values. <code>rev</code> will multiply by -1 to 
give the inverse sign. This enables a comparison similar to correlations 
rather than distance.</dd>
