⚠️There's a newer version (1.3.7) of this package.Take me there.

stm (version 1.3.6)

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) .
