# S3 method for PlainTextDocument
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = function(x) sum(x, na.rm = TRUE))
# S3 method for term_frequency
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = function(x) sum(x, na.rm = TRUE))
# S3 method for TermDocumentMatrix
tm_term_score(x, terms, FUN = col_sums)

Arguments

x

Either a PlainTextDocument, a term frequency as returned by termFreq, or a TermDocumentMatrix.

terms

A character vector of terms to be matched.

FUN

A function computing a score from the number of terms matching in x.
