textmodel_ca: correspondence analysis of a document-feature matrix

Description

textmodel_ca implements correspondence analysis scaling on a dfm. The method is a fast/sparse version of function ca in the ca package.

Usage

textmodel_ca(x, smooth = 0, nd = NA, sparse = FALSE, threads = 1,
  residual_floor = 0.1)

Arguments

the dfm on which the model will be fit

smooth

a smoothing parameter for word counts; defaults to zero.

Number of dimensions to be included in output; if NA (the default) then the maximum possible dimensions are included.

sparse

retains the sparsity if set to TRUE

threads

specifies the number of threads to be used; set to 1 to use a serial version of the function. Only applies when sparse = TRUE.

residual_floor

specifies the threshold for the residual matrix for calculating the truncated svd.Larger value will reduce memory and time cost but might sacrify the accuracy. Only applies when sparse = TRUE

Details

svds in the RSpectra package is applied to enable the fast computation of the SVD.
