Calculate Score Words

Calculate Score Words

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

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:

βv,k(logβw,k1/Kklogβv,k) \beta_{v, k} (\log \beta_{w,k} - 1 / K \sum_{k'} \log \beta_{v,k'})
