stm (version 1.3.3)

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) .
