Scaling models and classifiers for sparse matrix objects representing textual data in the form of a document-feature matrix. Includes original implementations of 'Laver', 'Benoit', and Garry's (2003) doi:10.1017/S0003055403000698, 'Wordscores' model, the Perry and 'Benoit' (2017) doi:10.48550/arXiv.1710.08963 class affinity scaling model, and the 'Slapin' and 'Proksch' (2008) doi:10.1111/j.1540-5907.2008.00338.x 'wordfish' model, as well as methods for correspondence analysis, latent semantic analysis, and fast Naive Bayes and linear 'SVMs' specially designed for sparse textual data.

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("quanteda.textmodels", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("quanteda/quanteda.textmodels")

Development version from quanteda/quanteda.textmodels. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-quanteda.textmodels

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-quanteda.textmodels

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-quanteda.textmodels

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
