stm (version 1.3.7)

Estimation of the Structural Topic Model

Description

The Structural Topic Model (STM) allows researchers to estimate topic models with document-level covariates. The package also includes tools for model selection, visualization, and estimation of topic-covariate regressions. Methods developed in Roberts et. al. (2014) and Roberts et. al. (2016) . Vignette is Roberts et. al. (2019) .
