calcscore: Calculate Score Words

Description

A primarily internal function for calculating words according to the score metric. We expect most users will use labelTopics instead.

Usage

calcscore(logbeta)

Arguments

logbeta

a K by V matrix containing the log probabilities of seeing word v conditional on topic k

Details

Score is a metric which we include because it is used effectively in the lda package by Jonathan Chang. It is calculated as: $$\beta_{v, k} (\log \beta_{w,k} - 1 / K \sum_{k'} \log \beta_{v,k'})$$
