Degrees of freedom. Defaults to the minimum of 10 or one minus
the number of unique values in x.

Arguments passed to the <code><a rd-options="splines" href="/link/bs?package=stm&version=1.3.5&to=splines" data-mini-rdoc="splines::bs">bs</a></code> function.

This is a simple wrapper around the <code><a rd-options="splines" href="/link/bs?package=stm&version=1.3.5&to=splines" data-mini-rdoc="splines::bs">bs</a></code> function in
the splines package. It will default to a spline with 10 degrees of
freedom.

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) <doi:10.1111/ajps.12103> and
Roberts et al (2016) <doi:10.1080/01621459.2016.1141684>. Vignette
