textTools (version 0.1.0)

Functions for Text Cleansing and Text Analysis

Description

A framework for text cleansing and analysis. Conveniently prepare and process large amounts of text for analysis. Includes various metrics for word counts/frequencies that scale efficiently. Quickly analyze large amounts of text data using a text.table (a data.table created with one word (or unit of text analysis) per row, similar to the tidytext format). Offers flexibility to efficiently work with text data stored in vectors as well as text data formatted as a text.table.

Functions in textTools (0.1.0)

Regular expression that might be used to split strings of text into component sentences.

rm_infrequent_words

Delete rows in a text.table where the number of identical records within a group is less than a certain threshold

Create a list of a vector of unique words found in x and a vector of the counts of each word in x.

Delete rows in a text.table where the word has more than a minimum number of characters

str_extract_positional_match

Extract words from a vector that are found in the same position in another vector.

str_dt_col_combine

Combine columns of a data.table into a list in a new column, wraps list(unlist(c(...)))

Flag rows in a text.table with specific words

str_count_positional_match

Count words from a vector that are found in the same position in another vector.

Delete rows in a text.table where the records within a group are also found in other groups (overlapping records)

str_count_nomatch

Count the words in a vector that are not found in another vector.

Delete rows in a text.table where the records within a group are not also found in other groups (overlapping records)

Generates (pseudo)random strings of the specified char length

Vector of lowercase English stop words.

rm_regexp_match

Delete rows in a text.table where the record has a certain pattern indicated by a regular expression

str_count_jaccard_similarity

Calculates the intersect divided by union of two vectors of words.

str_count_positional_nomatch

Count words from a vector that are not found in the same position in another vector.

rm_parts_of_speech

Delete rows in a text.table where the word has a certain part of speech

str_rm_blank_space

Remove and replace excess white space from strings.

Remove rows from a text.table with specific words

str_rm_long_words

Remove words from a vector that have more than a maximum number of characters.

str_rm_non_alphanumeric

Remove and replace non-alphanumeric characters from strings.

str_weighted_count_match

Weighted count of the words in a vector that are found in another vector.

str_count_match

Count the words in a vector that are found in another vector.

Remove words from a vector of words found in another vector of words.

Detect if there are any words in a vector also found in another vector.

str_rm_non_printable

Remove and replace non-printable characters from strings.

Delete rows in a text.table where the word has less than a minimum number of characters

Remove and replace numbers from strings.

str_rm_punctuation

Remove and replace punctuation from strings.

str_count_intersect

Count the intersecting words in a vector that are found in another vector (only counts unique words).

str_rm_words_by_length

Remove words from a vector based on the number of characters in each word.

str_count_setdiff

Count the words in a vector that don't intersect with another vector (only counts unique words).

str_extract_match

Extract words from a vector that are found in another vector.

str_extract_nomatch

Extract words from a vector that are not found in another vector.

str_rm_short_words

Remove words from a vector that don't have a minimum number of characters.

str_rm_regexp_match

Remove words from a vector that match a regular expression.

str_extract_positional_nomatch

Extract words from a vector that are not found in the same position in another vector.

str_stopwords_by_part_of_speech

Create a vector of English words associated with particular parts of speech.

Calls base::tolower(), which converts letters to lowercase. Only included to point out that base::tolower exists and should be used directly.

rm_frequent_words

Delete rows in a text.table where the number of identical records within a group is more than a certain threshold

Regular expression that might be used to split strings of text into component words.

label_parts_of_speech

Add a column with the parts of speech for each word in a text.table

Convert a data.table column of character vectors into a column with one row per word grouped by a grouping column. Optionally will split a column of strings into vectors of constituents.
