Description

Sample randomly from a dfm object, from documents or features.

Usage

dfm_sample(

  size = ifelse(margin == "documents", ndoc(x), nfeat(x)),
  replace = FALSE,
  prob = NULL,
  margin = c("documents", "features")
)

Arguments

x

the dfm object whose documents or features will be sampled

size

a positive number, the number of documents or features to select. The default is the number of documents or the number of features, for margin = "documents" and margin = "features" respectively.
