Description

Fit Dirichlet Mixture Model

Usage

gsdmm(
  texts,
  n_iter = 30L,
  n_clust = 8L,
  alpha = 0.1,
  beta = 0.1,
  progress = TRUE
)

Arguments

texts

a list of character vectors
n_iter

integer number of iterations to run gibbs sampler for
n_clust

integer upper bound on number of clusters. The returned number of cluster will be smaller or equal to n_clust
alpha

double governing the probability of assigning a text to a currently empty cluster (larger alpha means higher probability).
beta

double governing the tradeoff between cluster size and fit. Smaller betas make clustering more sensitive to congruence between cluster-word and document-word distributions while larger betas make it more sensitive to cluster size.
progress

logical indicating whether to print progress bar.

Value

a list that contains an integer vector of clusters and a word-cluster matrix.
