News for Package 'koRpus'

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-8 (2021-05-17)

fixed

• tokenize()/treetag(): as indicated by unit tests in tm.plugin.koRpus, the nchar(type="width") issue wasn't fully fixed yet

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-7 (2021-05-13)

fixed

• read.corp.LCC()/read.corp.celex()/readTagged(): changed how encoding is applied to files to ensure no re-encoding takes place on windows, which might break UTF-8 encoded characters and result in failure to correctly read files

• text descriptives: R-devel changed how nchar(type="width") counts newline characters, therefore the counting of characters with normalized space had to be adjusted

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-6 (2021-05-08)

fixed

• lex.div()/MTLD(): calculations were slightly off (~0.5%) due to an incorrect stage of applying means to the forward/backward calculations; MTLD-MA remains unaffected (thanks to akira murakami for reporting the issue)

• treetag()/tokenize(): added a check to doc_id which is expected to be a character string; especially if it was manually set to 0 issues were reported

• fixed some URLs (https if available)

changed

• class kRp.TTR: dropped the mean value from the "factors" list of MTLD results

• readability(): flat=TRUE now stores results in a list named by doc_id like lex.div() already did

• summary(): features "lex_div" and "readability" are now supported for kRp.txt objects, a new "flat" argument was added

• readability()/lex.div(): dropped "Note:" from validity warnings as it is already a warning

• updated unit test standards

added

• readability(): new formula "Gutierrez" for spanish texts, also added to the shiny web app

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-5 (2021-02-02)

fixed

• readability()/fucks(): the oldest bug so far, present since the first version of the package: Fucks' formula doesn't determine word length by characters but syllables; references were updated. the index has been on the list of "needs validation" and still remains there. the erroneous formula likely came from the documentation of TextQuest, as the initial scope of koRpus, when it wasn't even a package yet, was to validate the calculations of various readability tools (thanks to berenike herrmann for the hint)

• cTest(): don't freak out if there's text left after the last sentence ending punctuation

• textTransform(): the argument "paste=TRUE" was broken

• readability.num(): solved issue of missing "txt.file" object and undefined language; "lang" can now also be set in the "text.features" if needed

• kRp_TTR(): validity check was missing "sd" in names of the MSTTR slot

added

• the package now installs a sample text that is used in many examples

changed

• many examples now use a sample text and can therefore omit the \dontrun{} clause they were previously enclosed in

• class definitions now use the initialize method instead of prototype()

removed

• kRp.text.analysis(): deprecated since 0.13-1, removed the code

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-4 (2020-12-11)

fixed

• treetag(): allow for lexicon files to be optional and not return an error if none is found (which was the case with the newly added file name checks)

• treetag(): use "-lex" argument for lexicon files if no lookup command is given

• treetag(): always add lookup command from manual options even if a preset is used

• read.corp.custom(): calculation failed if caseSens=FALSE

• tokenize()/treetag(): force UTF-8 encoding on read texts to prevent windows from misunderstanding characters

changed

• treetag() et al.: drastically increased the speed of calculating descriptive statistics (can be 100x faster for very large texts)

• updated the language package templates

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-3 (2020-10-15)

fixed

• treetag(): the "utf8" check for lexicon files led to path errors if the lexicon was NULL

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-2 (2020-09-23)

fixed

• unit tests: jumbledWords() randomly created false positives, fixed by setting a seed

todo

• #freeRealityWinner

Changes in koRpus version 0.13-1 (2020-09-21)

fixed

• docTermMatrix(): numbers were calculated correctly, but possibly added to the wrong columns, leading to a completely wrong document term matrix

• treetag(): a dumb misorderig of calls suppressed the "utf8" check for abbreviation files introduced with 0.11-5

• treetag(): also added a "utf8" check for lexicon files and ".txt" file extensions (which might be missing in newer versions of TreeTagger)

• correct.tag(): stopped method from adding tag descriptions to objects that didn't have them yet

• kRp_readability()/kRp_corp_freq(): properly initialize the slots

• readability() wrapper functions: fixed a bunch of readability.num() calls including an unused hyphen argument

• readability(): HTML documentation had a wrong formula for LIX (LaTeX was correct)

• textTransform(): now recounting letters when scheme is "normalize" as it might have altered word lengths; the calculations of some data in the desc slot (all.chars, lines, normalized.space) as now also done relative to the old values, because they can't be correctly recalculated from a mere vector of tokens

changed

• docTermMatrix(): optimzed calculation speed drastically

• read.corp.custom(): re-wrote most of the code, now based on docTermMatrix() and thereby up to 50 times faster; also removed the now unused quiet argument, as well as methods using the directory path or lists of tagged texts, because using methods of the tm.plugin.koRpus package instead is much more efficient now

• show(): simplified the code for kRp.text class objects and unified the horizontal positioning of resulting values

• show(): generalized the handling of factor columns to be able to deal with unexpected columns

• tokenize(), treetag(): always generate a doc_id if none was given; also improved the examples

• readability(): added some ASCII versions of the formulae to the documentation

• readability(): the code of the internal workhorse kRp.rdb.formulae() was cleaned up, now using the new helper functions validate_parameters(), check_parameters() and rdb_parameters(), saving ~350 lines of code

• updated unit test

added

• kRp.text: new replacement class for kRp.tagged, kRp.txt.freq, kRp.txt.trans; the TT.res slot was renamed into "tokens", additional columns in the data frame are now ok, new slots "features" and "feat_list" to host analysis results like readability or lexical diversity, and the "desc" slot now always contains elements named by doc_id

• docTermMatrix(): new method to calculate document term matrices from TIF compliant token data frames and koRpus objects

• doc_id(), hasFeatures(), hasFeatures()<-, features(), features()<-, corpusReadability(), corpusReadability()<-, corpusHyphen(), corpusHyphen()<-, corpusLexDiv(), corpusLexDiv()<-, corpusFreq(), corpusFreq()<-, corpusCorpFreq(), corpusCorpFreq()<-, corpusStopwords(), corpusStopwords()<-: new getter/setter methods for kRp.text objects

• dependencies: the Matrix package was added to imports for docTermMatrix()

• validate_df(): new internal method to check data frames for expected columns

• readability(): new argument "keep.input" to define whether hyphen objects should be preserved in the output or dropped

• hyphen(), lex.div(): new argument "as.feature" to store results in the new "feat_list" slot of the input object rather than returning it directly

• fixObject(): new methods to convert old objects of deprecated classes kRp.tagged, kRp.txt.freq, kRp.txt.trans, and kRp.analysis

• split_by_doc_id(): new method transforms a kRp.text object with multiple doc_ids into a list of single-document kRp.text objects

• [[/[[<-: gained new argument "doc_id" to limit the scope to particular documents

• describe()/describe()<-: now support filtering by doc_id

removed

• kRp.tagged, kRp.txt.freq, kRp.txt.trans, kRp.analysis: these classes were special cases of kRp.text, and since all their information can now be part of kRp.text objects, they are no longer used; they are actually still present, but considered deprecated and should be converted using fixObject()

• readability(), freq.analysis(): removed the methods that could be called on files directly instead of objects of class kRp.text. this simplifies the code and it's probably not too much to ask users to call tokenize() or treetag() directly instead of doing this internally with less control

• freq.analysis(): removed the "tfidf" argument; as it turned out, its value was never effectively used, the tf-idf was always calculated, and it seemed like a reasonable default anyway

• kRp.text.analysis(): now deprecated, just use lex.div() and freq.analysis() to the same effect

Changes in koRpus version 0.12-1 (2019-05-13)

fixed

• query(): method was broken for tagged objects

• textTransform(): method was broken

• class kRp.txt.trans: renamed column "token.old" into "token.orig", which is what was actually used by textTransform(); also added a validity test for those column names to prevent confusion

• readTagged(): adjusted default encoding

added

• query(): new method for objects of class data.frame, which is now used if query() is being called on koRpus class objects

• query(): now also supports all numerical queries for tagged texts that were previously only available for frequency objects

• filterByClass(): a new method for tagged text objects, replacing the kRp.filter.wclass() function, which is now deprecated

• pasteText(): like filterByClass(), but replacing kRp.text.paste()

• readTagged(): like filterByClass(), but replacing read.tagged()

• readTagged(): new argument mtx_cols for new tagger="manual" setting, allowing to import data POS tagged with third party tools

• textTransform(): new scheme "normalize" to replace tokens by given query rules with a defined value or the result of a provided function

• diffText()/diffText()<-: new getter/setter methods for the "diff" slot of transformed text objects

• originalText(): new method to revert text transformations and get the original text

• kRp.POS.tags(): now includes universal POS tags by default

• new unit tests for many methods, including query(), textTransform(), readTagged(), filterByClass(), pasteText(), diffText(), originalText(), jumbleWords(), and clozeDelete()

changed

• tokenize(): now a S4 method for objects of class character and connections

• treetag(): now a S4 method for objects of class character and connections

• class kRp.txt.trans: "diff" slot now also lists the transformations done to the tokens in a new list element called "transfmt", the changed tokens in a data frame called "transfmt.equal" and normalization details in a list called "transfmt.normalize"

• language support: if you try using a preset but the langauge package wasn't loaded or even installed, a more elaborate error message is returned with hopefully useful hints to what to try next

• jumbleWords(): now a S4 method, no longer a function; the resulting object is now also of class kRp.txt.trans if the input was a tagged text object, preserving the original tokens

• clozeDelete(): now returns an object of class kRp.txt.trans, dropping the additional data frame in "desc"; this ist much more consistent with other text transformations in the packahe

• cTest(): like clozeDelete() now returns an object of class kRp.txt.trans, dropping the additional data frame in "desc"

• moved class union definition kRp.taggedText to its own file and updated the import calls on a number of files accordingly

• textTransform(): moved the whole code segment that combines the transformed text into the returned object to a separate internal function so it can be re-used by other text transforming methods

• cTest(): changed method signature from kRp.tagged to class union kRp.taggedText

• summary(): changed method signature from kRp.tagged to class union kRp.taggedText

• plot(): changed method signature from kRp.tagged to class union kRp.taggedText

• lex.div(): removed the validation warning for MATTR, implementation has been validated by kevin cunningham and katarina haley

• restructured source code files

Changes in koRpus version 0.11-5 (2018-10-27)

changed

• set.kRp.env()/treetag(): now throws an error if you try to combine a language preset with TreeTagger's batch files as the tagger to use; some users seem to be confused about what to configure, and this error message hopefully helps them to understand why treetag() must fail in these cases

• treetag(): newer versions of TreeTagger will no longer have "utf8" in their parameter and abbreviation files. since we never know what version of TreeTagger we're dealing with, treetag() will from now on look for files with "utf8" if specified in the language package, but not fail if none is found, but also try for a non-labelled file and replace the file name on the fly if one is found

• grapheme clusters: in UTF-8, certain characters in some languages are shown as a single character, but technically are several characters combined. nchar() counts all combined parts individially, which in most use cases for this package is not what one expects. it now uses nchar(type="width") for a letter count that is much closer to user's expectations

fixed

• set.lang.support(): explicitly set the sorting method for factor levels to "radix" as the new default "auto" (R >= 3.5) produced unstable results with different setups; hence some of the test standards also had to be updated

Changes in koRpus version 0.11-4 (2018-07-29)

fixed

• templates: incomplete package name in license header

• read.BAWL(): updated download URL and added DOI

changed

• the startup check for available language packages was reduced to short hints to available.koRpus.lang() and install.koRpus.lang()

• the startup message can now be suppressed by adding "noStartupMessage=TRUE" to the koRpus options in .Rprofile

Changes in koRpus version 0.11-3 (2018-03-07)

fixed

• treetag()/tokenize(): fixed an issue with sentence numbering which was triggered if all sentences were of equal length

• query(): method failed for columns which are now factors

changed

• treetag(): koRpus no longer fails with an error if unknown tags are found. there will be a warning, but you can continue to work with the object

• depends on R >= 3.0.0 now

• improved available.koRpus.lang() to make it more obvious how to install language support packages, and which

• session settings done with set.kRp.env() or queried by get.kRp.env() are no longer stored in an internal environment but the global .Options; this also allows for setting defaults in an .Rprofile file using options()

• in the docs, improved the link format for classes, omitting the "-class" suffix

• set.lang.support(): the levels of tag, wclass, and desc are now automatically sorted; test standards had to be adjusted accordingly

added

• set.lang.support(): new argument "merge"; it is now possible to add or update single POS tag definitions

• new class object contructors kRp_tagged(), kRp_TTR(), kRp_txt_freq(), kRp_txt_trans(), kRp_analysis(), kRp_corp_freq(), kRp_lang(), and kRp_readability() can be used instead of new("kRp.tagged", ...) etc.

Changes in koRpus version 0.11-2 (2018-01-07)

attention

• this is a testing release introducing major changes in the way language support is handled (see other changes in this log). tl;dr: you must install additional koRpus.lang.** packages to fully restore the previous functionality, i.e., all supported languages. see ?install.koRpus.lang

fixed

• treetag(): with TT.tknz=FALSE, the last letter of a text was truncated due to a missing newline at the end of the tempfile (thanks to adam spannbauer for both reporting and fixing it)

• treetag(): hopefully fixed a nasty encoding issue on windows, again

• treetag(): fixed an issue that could be triggered by hard to tokenize texts exceeding a default limit of summary() for factors

• treetag()/tokenize(): silenced warnings of readLines() for missing final EOL of input files

changed

• language support: while the sylly package is released on CRAN now, its separate language packages were not allowed to be published there as well. a special repository was therefore set up on gitub and added via the "Additional_repositories" field to the DESCRIPTION file. however, not having the sylly.XX packages on CRAN made it necessary to further modularize the package and complete remove all out-of-the-box language support (see removed section). all these support packages for language are now being resolved by installing from that repo instead of CRAN.

• package loading: when koRpus is being loaded, it now checks for available (i.e. already installed) language packages. if none are found, it asks you to install one. i'm sorry for the unconvenience

• vignette is now in RMarkdown/HTML format; the SWeave/PDF version was dropped

added

• tif_as_tokens_df(): new method to get TT.res in fully TIF compliant format

• new functions available.koRpus.lang() and install.koRpus.lang() for more convenient handling of language support packages.

removed

• language support: koRpus previously supported some languages directly (de, en, es, fr, it, and ru). this support had to be removed and is now available as separate language packages via https://undocumeantit.github.io/repos/l10n

Changes in koRpus version 0.11-1 (2017-06-20)

fixed

• kRp.lang: fixed the show() and summary() methods to omit country information which was dropped from the UDHR data a while ago

• treetag(): windows users might run into problems because of differences between the file separators R uses internally when they are also used in shell() calls. this hasn't been an issue earlier, but is worked around now anyway. hope this doesn't cause new issues...

changed

• kRp.tagged: the TT.res data.frame of the object class has new columns "doc_id", "idx" (index), and "sntc" (sentence), with "doc_id" now being the first column before "token" to comply with the Text Interchange Formats proposed by rOpenSci

• kRp.tagged: in TT.res, the columns "tag", "wclass" and "desc" are no longer character vectors but factors. this doesn't actually change the class definition, as TT.res just has to be a data.frame, but it reduces the object size especially for larger texts, and makes it much simpler to do analysis with these objects

• tokenize()/treetag()/read.tagged(): these functions now add token index and sentence number to the resulting objects; document ID is added if provided

• kRp.lang: depending on the information available in the UDHR data, the show() and summary() methods' output is now dynamically adjusted; summary() now also lists the columns "iso639-3" and "bcp47" by default

• treetag(): debug output for tokenize() looks a little nicer

• kRp.text.transform(): the old function is now deprecated and was replaced by a proper S4 method called textTransform(). the old one will work for the moment, but you'll get a warning

• the tt slot in class kRp.TTR gained two new entries called "type.in.txt" and "type.in.result", which will contain a list of all types with the index where it is to be found in the original text or the lex.div() results respectively, if type.index=TRUE; the indices might differ because the result might be stripped of certain word classes

• treetag()/tokenize(): internal workflow for adding word class and description of tags was modularized for more detailed control. you can now toggle whether you want the verbose description of each tag added directly to objects with the new argument "add.desc". it is set in the environment by set.kRp.env() and defaults to FALSE, making the objects about 5% smaller in memory.

• kRp.corp.freq: the class gained a new slot called "caseSens", documenting whether the frequency statistics were calculated case sensitive (see read.corp.*() below).

• validity check for objects of class kRp.tagged is a bit more liberal when TT.res doesn't have all expected columns and suggests to call fixObject() (see below) instead of failing with an error

• adjusted unit tests

added

• summary(): method for class kRp.TTR now also supports the logical "flat" argument

• new "[" and "[[" methods can be used to directly address the data.frames in tagged or hyphenated objects. that is, you don't have to call taggedText() or hyphenText() first, it will be done internally

• new "[" and "[[" methods have also been added for objects of classes kRp.TTR and kRp.readability for quick access to their summary() results (index by measure)

• treetag(): a new check will throw an informative error message if TreeTagger didn't return something the function can use

• lex.div() et al.: new option "type.index" to produce the indices described above in the "changed" section

• hyphen(): new option "as" to set the return value class, still defaults to "kRp.hyph", but can also be "data.frame" or "numeric"

• new shortcut methods hyphen_df() and hyphen_c() use different defaults for "as"

• treetag()/tokenize(): new option "add.desc" (see changed section)

• taggedText(): new option "add.desc" to (re-)write the "desc" column in the data.frame, useful if it was omitted during treetag()/tokenize() but you want to add it later without retagging everything

• read.corp.LCC()/read.corp.celex(): added new option "caseSens" to toggle whether frequency statistics should be calculated case sensitive or insensitive

• new method fixObject() can upgrade old tagged objects from previous koRpus releases, i.e. add missing columns and adjust data types where needed

removed

• hyphen(): all parts of the package that were specific for hyphenation were removed as they are now part of the new sylly package. this includes the class definitions (kRp.hyph.pat and kRp.hyphen) and methods (correct(), hyphen(), show() and summary()) for those classes, as long as they in turn are not specific to koRpus. the hyphenation definitions were also removed from the language support files, as they are now part of individual language packages for the sylly package (sylly.en, sylly.de, etc.) that this package now depends on. you should, however, notice no difference in using the package, everything should just work like it did before this split.

• the standard generics for describe() and language() were removed because they are now defined in the sylly package

Changes in koRpus version 0.10-2 (2017-04-04)

fixed

• leftover typo in lang.support-en.R referencing "utf8-tokenize.pl" instead of "utf8-tokenize.perl" in the windows preset and a call to grep that is not present in Treetagger's *.bat file

• readability(): fixed a minor issue with the internal handling of wrongly tagged dashes in the FOG formula (shouldn't have any effect on results)

changed

• if no encoding is provided and treetag() needs to write temporary files, output file encoding is now forced into UTF-8

• hyphen(): caching now uses an environment instead of a data.frame. this means that old cache files will need to be changed as well. hyphen() will try to convert them on the fly, but if this fails you should remove the old files

• hyphen(): cached results are now looked up much more efficient, speeding up the process drastically (about 100 times faster in my benchmarks!)

• hyphen(): hyphenation patterns are now internally converted to environments which speeds up uncached runs (or first runs with cache) noticeably

• readability(): default parameters are now always fetched by the internal function default.params(), individually for each index

• source code: moved all wrapper functions for readability() and lex.div() from individual source files to one wrapper file, respectively. the source tree became a bit overcrowded over the years

added

• new options redability(index="validation") and lex.div(measure="validation") show current the status of validation. this info was previously only available as comments in the source code and is now directly available.

removed

• WSFT(): deprecated wrapper, was replaced by nWS() in 2012

Changes in koRpus version 0.10-1 (2017-03-01)

fixed

• windows users could run into an error of an undefined object (TT.call.file) when using treetag()

changed

• CRAN doesn't accept leading zeroes in version numbers any longer and asked me to change 0.07 into 0.7. i'd rather play this safe, so i'm jumping right to 0.10 to keep the versioning consistent fo all users. the reason for this policy change was not explained to me, could be anything from "we think it looks ugly" to "it breaks our build systems".

• allowing treetag() to run even when a defined lexicon file is not found. this previously resulted in an error and now causes only a warning message.

Changes in koRpus version 0.07-2 (2016-12-21)

fixed

• the show method for Flesch Brouwer was not working properly

• if a cache file for hyphen is set but not existing, it will be created automatically

• the manual page for the wrapper function ELF() attributed the index to Farr, when it was in fact Fang (as correctly said in ?readability); vigilantly spotted by Mario Martinez

• calling lex.div() on untagged character vectors didn't really work yet

• guess.lang() had problems with newer UDHR files which included comments in the index.xml file

• shiny app: was omitting the row names of tables in newer versions of shiny

• treetag() appended the abbreviation list two times in english preset

• TT.options checks in treetag() do no longer ask for mandatory options if TT.cmd is not "manual"

changed

• updated shiny app: disabling FOG by default (faster), adding Brouwer and MTLDMA.steps options, adding dutch and portuguese by default, disabled language selection in language guessing tab

• shiny app: using fluidPage() now

• shiny app: set tables to use bootstrap striped layout

• reaktanz.de supports HTTPS now, updated references

added

• new summary() method for kRp.hyph objects

• new show() methods for kRp.hyph and kRp.taggedText objects

• new methods tokens() and types() to quickly get tokens and types of a text

Changes in koRpus version 0.07-1 (2016-07-11)

fixed

• the treetag() function actually omittet options for the tokenizer due to a never updated variable and a wrong setting later on; this has been the case for years – interesting that no-one ever noticed this

• read.corp.LCC() can now digest newer LCC archives, omitting the *-meta.txt file if none is present, and also supporting *-words.txt files with duplicate columns

• some typos in the ChangeLog...

• fixed manual page for class kRp.corp.freq

changed

• the support for non-UTF-8 presets for was removed, since TreeTagger is only endorsing UTF-8 encoding itself for a while; the old preset names will continue to work for the time being, but if possible you should already rename them from "<lang>-utf8" into just "<lang>" in your scripts

• removed options corp.rm.class and corp.rm.tag from method hyphen() for character strings

• massively improved the speed of hyphen by using a new method for exploding words into their sub-parts. in benchmark tests (text with ~30.000 words) the new method only takes about 15% of the time without cache, and about 50% with cache

• massively improved the speed of lex.div() by reducing unnecessary computations. in benchmark tests (see above) the new method is more than 100 times faster, which also makes readability() three times as fast with standard indices. if you disable the FOG index, readability() is now finished in an instant, too. see the new index="fast" option below

• tokenize() now uses data.table() instead of data.frame() internally, leading to an increase in speed of about 20%

• new slots "bigrams" and "cooccur" in S4 class kRp.corp.freq

• cleaned up code

• removed the never used variable TT.tknz.opts.def in the language support

• set.lang.support() now checks for duplicate tag definitions and throws an error if any were found

• renamed class and method files to set some environment first

• moved several internal hyphenation functions to koRpus-internal.hyphen.R

• moved several internal readability functions to koRpus-internal.rdb.formulae.R

added

• read.corp.LCC() can now import the information on bigrams and co-occurences of tokens in a sentence

• language support now also uses TT.splitter, TT.splitter.opts, and TT.pre.tagger, which was needed mostly to implement the TreeTagger script for portuguese (available in the separate package koRpus.lang.pt), but also for updates of languages that were already supported

• updated the RKWard plugin (UTF-8 defaults, added dutch and portuguese, added Brouwer formula)

• new unit tests for lex.div(), tokenize() and readability()

• new options to set index="fast" in readability() to drop FPG from the defaults for faster calculations

• new option MTLDMA.steps to increase the step size for MTLD-MA. this diverts from the original proposal, but if your text is long enough, you will get a very good estimate and only need a fraction of the computing time

Changes in koRpus version 0.06-5 (2016-06-05)

fixed

• fixed the Douma formula: based on available literature, the factor for average sentence length was set to 0.33, but the original paper reported it as 0.93

• fixed the documentation for tokenize(), roxygen2 had problems with an escaped double quote

• corrected some problems with umlauts in the docs

added

• new template for a roxyPackage script to make it easy to build packages from language support scripts

• additional validation for ARI, flesch (en), flesch-kincaid, SMOG and FOG, via http://wordscount.info/wc/jsp/clear/analyze_readability.jsp

• new Flesch parameters to calculate readability according to Brouwer (NL), can be invoked as index "Flesch.nl-b", "Flesch.Brouwer", or Flesch paremeters set to "nl-b"

• now the manual is actually documenting all the various Flesch formulas, i.e., listing all parameter values, so that it's easier for users to check what is being calculated

Changes in koRpus version 0.06-4 (2016-03-07)

fixed

• workaround for missing POS tag "NS" for english texts

• made guess.lang() compatible with recent format of UDHR archives, now using ISO 639-3 codes as language identifier

• tokenize() and treetag() weren't able to cope with text that only consisted of a single token

• declared import from graphics package to satisfy CRAN checks

changed

• updated rkwarddev script according to recent development in the rkwarddev package

• some basic validity checks of treetag()s "TT.options" moved to an internal function checkTTOptions(), which is now also called by set.kRp.env()

• guess.lang() doesn't warn about missing EOL in the UDHR texts any longer

added

• added a README.md file

• new option "no.unknown" can be passed to the "TT.options" of treetag(), to toggle the "-no-unknown" switch of TreeTagger

• new option "validate" for set.kRp.env() to enable/disable checks

Changes in koRpus version 0.06-3 (2015-11-02)

fixed

• actually query for supported POS tags in internal function is.supported.lang(). the function previously looked for supported languages in the available presets, which failed if there was no preset named like the language abberviation

• made hyphen() not split words after first or before last character, therefore min.length was increased to 4 accordingly

• adjusted test standards to changed hyphen results

added

• read.tagged() does now also accept matrix objects, see https://github.com/unDocUMeantIt/koRpus/issues/1

Changes in koRpus version 0.06-2 (2015-09-21)

fixed

• read.corp.custom() calculated the in-document frequency wrong if analysis was performed case insensitive

• updated some more links in the docs (?kRp.POS.tags)

changed

• correct.tag() now accepts all objects of class union kRp.taggedText

• query() now uses "%in%" instead of "==" to match character strings against "query"

• exported the previously internal function set.lang.support(), to prepare for the possibility of third party package to add new languages

added

• initial support to manually extend the languages supported by the package. you can now add new languages on-the-fly in a running session, or in a more sustainable manner by providing a language package (using the same methods, basically). key to this is the now globally available function set.lang.support(), and there's also two commented template scripts installed with the package, see the "templates" folder

Changes in koRpus version 0.06-1 (2015-07-08)

fixed

• read.corp.custom() was buggy when dealing with tagged objects

• suppress message stating text language in summary() for readability objects if "flat=TRUE"

changed

• changed the following functions into S4 methods: readability(), lex.div(), hyphen(), read.corp.custom() and freq.analysis()

• removed long since deprecated function kRp.freq.analysis()

• splitted the code of the monolithic internal function for read.corp.custom() into several subfunctions to get more flexibility

• read.corp.custom() now also supports analysis of lists of tagged objects

• removed option "fileEncoding" from the signature of read.corp.custom(), but it can still be used as part of the "..." options; this was neccessary because treetag() uses "encoding" instead

added

• new option "tagger" now also available in read.corp.custom()

• there is now a mailing list to discuss the koRpus development: https://ml06.ispgateway.de/mailman/listinfo/korpus-dev_r.reaktanz.de

Changes in koRpus version 0.05-6 (2015-06-30)

fixed

• changed "selected" values of checkboxGroupInput() in the shiny file ui.R to comply with the changes made in shiny 0.9.0

• function kRp.text.transform() was missing some columns in TT.res

• fixing this ChangeLog: the parameter for Szigriszt (Flesch ES) is not "es2", as reported in the log to koRpus 0.05.3, but "es-s"!

• calling readability for "ARI.NRI" without hyphenation didn't work, allthough ARI doesn't need syllables

• updated some broken links in the docs (?kRp.POS.tags, ?guess.lang)

• added imports for 'utils' and 'stats' packages to comply with new CRAN checks

• added a otherwise useless definition of "text" to the body of guess.lang(), also to satisfy R CMD check

changed

• replaced the RKWard plugin with a modularized rewrite (rkwarddev script)

• some code cleaning in internal function kRp.rdb.formulae() and freq.analysis(), mostly replacing @ by slot()

added

• new readability formula tuldava(), kindly suggested by peter grzybek

• the shiny app has gained support for Tuldava and Szigriszt (Flesch ES) formulae and log.base parameter (lexical diversity)

• set.kRp.env() does now check whether a language preset is valid

Changes in koRpus version 0.05-5 (2014-03-19)

changed

• removed Snowball from the list of suggested packages, as it is deprecated and fully replaced by SnowballC

• re-generated all docs with roxygen2 3.1.0, which can now handle S4 class definitions properly

• replaced all tabs in the source code by two space characters

added

• new tf-idf feature: read.corp.custom() now calculates idf, then freq.analysis() can use that to calculate tf-idf, kindly suggested by sandro tsang

• new columns "inDocs" and "idf" in slot "words" of class kRp.corp.freq

• new columns "tf", "idf" and "tfidf" in slot "words" of class kRp.txt.freq

Changes in koRpus version 0.05-4 (2014-01-22)

fixed

• PCRE 8.34 caused the tests to fail because of problems with regular expressions in internal tokenizing function tokenz(); fixed by ensuring that "-" is being escaped as "\\-"

Changes in koRpus version 0.05-3 (2013-12-21)

fixed

• due to a logical bug in calls to internal functions, the "lemmatize" argument if lex.div() didn't really have any effect

• using file names with readability() and its wrappers was broken, works again now

changed

• the "tt" slot in class kRp.TTR gained two new entries, "lemmas" and "num.lemmas", kindly suggested by roberto trunfio

• show() method for kRp.TTR objects now also lists the number of lemmas (if found)

• parameters of Flesch formulae were slightly changed to be more accurate (from rounded values of 206.84 to 206.835) where applicable

• Flesch-Szigriszt and Fernandez-Huerta have been validated against INFLESZ v1.0, so the warning was removed

• readability.num() now gracefully accepts a single number of syllables for formulae who don't need to know more

• added a proper GPL notice at the beginning of each R file

• adjustet tests according to the changes made

added

• alternative Flesch parameters for spanish texts according to Szigriszt were added as parameters="es2", kindly suggested by carlos ortega

removed

• this is the first version of the package with slightly reduced sources on CRAN – the debian directory, GPL license file and hyphenation pattern ChangeLog had to be removed. if you want the full sources to this package, please use the packages provided at http://reaktanz.de/?c=hacking&s=koRpus

Changes in koRpus version 0.05-2 (2013-10-27)

fixed

• added two previously undocumented (and hence missing) italian tags "FW" and "LS"

• removed some ::: operators which were not neccessary

• updated slot "param" of kRp.TTR objects to include "min.tokens", "rand.sample", "window" and "log.base"

changed

• moved some parts of treetag() and kRp.text.paste() to internal functions for easier re-use of its functionality

added

• support for marco baroni's TreeTagger tagset for italian was added

• added SnowballC to the suggested packages, as tokenize() and treetag() can also use SnowballC::wordStem() for stemming

• new function read.tagged() can be used to import already tagged texts

• new argument "apply.sentc.end" in function treetag()

• new argument "log.base" in functions lex.div() and lex.div.num()

Changes in koRpus version 0.05-1 (2013-05-05)

fixed

• DRP() readability formula tried to fetch a non-existing variable and hence didn't calculate; this also fixed a problem with summary(), if DRP results were expected in the object; tests had to be corrected as well

• textFeatures() gets number of letters and TTR again

• MTLD calculation (lex.div()) now counts a factor as full if it is < factor.size, it was implemented as <= factor.size before (thanks to scott jarvis for insight on the details)

• summary() for kRp.TTR objects always showed MTLD, even if it was empty

changed

• vignette now describes the use of taggedText() and describe(), instead of direct access to slots

• readability() now assumes that if there's any text, it represents at least one sentence, even if no sentence ending punctuation can be found

• "quiet=TRUE" in readability(), readability.num(), lex.div() and lex.div.num() will now also suppress all warnings regarding validation status

• MTLD calculation (lex.div()) was optimized and takes less than half of the time it used to. it also gained a new boolean argument "detailed", which is FALSE by default. this means that the full factor results are skipped now, which boosts performance even more (six times as fast as before)

• the caching mechanism for hyphen() was restructured into internal functions, allowing for better access to the cached data

• set.kRp.env() and get.kRp.env() have new signatures, namely, all previously hardcoded parameters have been replaced by the more flexible "...". usage stays the same, so there's no need to change any scripts, as long as you called all parameters by name, not only by position!

• object class kRp.corp.freq can now have additional columns in slots "words" and "desc". this flexibility allows for using this class with valence data as well

• query() now examines the desired columns to decide whether character or numeric operations are to be done

• performance of hyphen() has been massively improved if cache=TRUE

• guess.lang() now also standardizes the difference values; this was added to the respective summary() method, which also produces nicer output

• the source code was re-organized a bit, to ensure classes and methods are found in an appropriate order; the collate roclet of roxygen2 had problems with this when running in R 3.0.0

added

• new function read.BAWL() to import BAWL-R data

• new demo application for use with the "shiny" package, can be found in $SRC/inst/shiny

• lex.div() now supports a new method for calculating MTLD (MTLDMA, moving-average)

• new getter method hyphenText() to access the "hyphen" slot in kRp.hyphen objects

• getter methods language() and describe() for kRp.hyphen objects also added

• added "quiet" argument to lex.div.num()

• guess.lang() can now analyze a given text directly, not only from files

• set.kRp.env() can now explicitly unset parameters in the environment

• set.kRp.env() and get.kRp.env() know a new parameter, "hyphen.cache.file", which can be set to a file name to read from/write to the hyphenation cache. this way you can easily restore cached hyphenation rules over sessions. if this parameter is set, it will be used by hyphen() automatically if called with "cache=TRUE"

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-40 (2013-04-07)

fixed

• removed some non-ASCII characters, mostly from comments, to keep the package on CRAN; some author names are now spelled wrong, though...

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-39 (2013-03-12)

fixed

• optimized tokenize() to also detect prefixes/suffixes of the defined heuristics if they co-occur with punctuation

• re-saved hyph.fr.rda with explicitly UTF-8 ecoded vectors

• renamed LICENSE to LINCENSE.txt, so it won't get installed, as demnanded by Writing R Extensions

changed

• the language specific heuristics "en" and "fr" in tokenize() were renamed into "suf" and "pre". but they are still available, with "fr" now activating both "suf" and "pre".

• read.hyph.pat() now explicitly sets vector encoding to UTF-8 with Encoding()<-, to ensure that the generated objects don't cause warnings from R CMD check if they're included in packages

• internally replaced paste(..., sep="") with paste0(...)

added

• added new getter/setter methods taggedText(), taggedText()<-, describe(), describe()<-, language() and language()<- for tagged text objects

• added is.taggedText() test function

• added a warning to treetag() if "TT.options" is not a list (because this will likely render the options meaningless if they *contain* a list).

• tokenize() can now apply a list of patterns/replacements to given texts via the new "clean.raw" attribute, and even supports perl-like regular expressions. the replacements are done before the texts are tokenized, so this can be tried to globally clean up bad characters or simply replace strings, etc.

• tokenize() and treetag() have a new option "stopwords" to enable stopword detection

• kRp.filter.wclass() can now remove detected stopwords

• tokenize() and treetag() have a new option "stemmer" to interface with stemmer functions/methods like Snowball::SnowballStemmer()

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-38 (2012-11-30)

added

• added support for french (thanks to alexandre brulet)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-37 (2012-09-15)

fixed

• Spache now counts unfamiliar words only once, as explained in the original article

• old Spache formula was missing in readability(index="all")

changed

• validated Linsear Write, Dale-Chall (1948) and Spache (1953) results and removed warnings

fixed

• tests should now work on any machine

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-35 (2012-08-21)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-34 (2012-06-02)

added

changed

• advanced summary() statistics for objects returned by clozeDelete()

• clozeDelete(offset="all") now iterates through all cloze variants and prints the results, including the new summary() data

• clozeDelete() now uses the new class union "kRp.taggedText" as signature

• read.corp.custom() now uses table(), "quiet" is TRUE by default, the new option "caseSens" can be used to ignore character case, and "corpus" can now also be a tagged text object

fixed

• summary() for objects of class kRp.txt.freq was broken

• as("kRp.tagged") for objects of class kRp.txt.freq was broken

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-33 (2012-05-26)

changed

added

• added new function jumbledWords() and new method cTest()

fixed

• kRp.text.paste() now also removes superfluous spaces at the end of texts (i.e., before the last fullstop)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-31 (2012-04-22)

added

• koRpus now suggests the "testthat" package and uses it for automatic tests

• treetag() and tokenize() now also accept input from open connections

fixed

• treetag() shouldn't fail on file names with spaces any more

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-30 (2012-04-06)

• added features:

• kRp.corp.freq class objects now include the columns 'lttr', 'lemma', 'tag' and 'wclass'

• query() for corpus frequency objects now returns objects of the same class, to allow nested queries

• the 'query' parameter of query() can now be a list of lists, to facilitate nested requests more easily

• query() can now invoke grepl(), if 'var' is set to "regexp"; i.e., you can now filter words by regular expressions (inspired by suggestions after the koRpus talk at TeaP 2012)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-29 (2012-04-05)

• fixed bug in summary() for tagged objects without punctuation

• renamed kRp.freq.analysis() to freq.analysis() (with wrapper function for backwards compatibility)

• readability.num() can now directly digest objects of class kRp.readability

• data documentation hyph.XX is now a roxygen source file as well

• cleaned up summary() and show() docs

• adjustements to the roxygen2 docs (methods)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-28 (2012-03-10)

• code cleanup: initialized some variables by setting them NULL, to avoid needless NOTEs from R CMD check (hyphen(), and internal functions frqcy.by.rel(), load.hyph.pattern(), tagged.txt.rm.classes() and text.freq.analysis())

• re-formatted the ChangeLog so roxyPackage can translate it into a NEWS.Rd file

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-27 (2012-03-07)

• prep for CRAN release:

• 0.04-26 was short-lived...

• really fixed plot docs

• removed usage section from hyph.XX data documentation

• renamed text.features() to textFeatures()

• encapsulated examples in set.kRp.env()/get.kRp.env() in \dontrun{}

• re-compressed all hyphenation pattern data files, using xz compression

• lifted the R dependency from 2.9 to 2.10

• compressed LCC tarballs are now detected automatically

• kRp.freq.analysis() now also lists the log10 value of word frequencies in the TT.res slot

• in the desc slot of kRp.txt.freq class objects, the rather misleading list elements "freq" and "freq.wclass" were more adequately renamed to "freq.token" and "freq.types", respectively

• unmatched words in frequency analyses now get value 0, not NA

• fixed wrong signature for option "tagger" in kRp.text.analysis()

• fixed kRp.cluster() which still called some old slots

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-24 (2012-03-01)

• fixed bug for attempts to calculate value distribution texts without any sentence endings

• all readability wrapper functions now also accept a list of text features for calculation

• class kRp.readability now inherits kRp.tagged

• readability() now checks for presence of a hyphen slot and re-uses it, if no new hyphen object was provided; this in addition to the previous change enables one to re-analyze a text more efficiently, as already calculated results are also preserved

• letter and character distribution in kRp.tagged desc slot now include columns with zero values if the respective values are missing (e.g., no words with five letters, but some with six, etc.)

• added summary method for class kRp.tagged, summarizing main information from the desc slot

• added plot method for class kRp.tagged

• show method for kRp.readability now lists unfamiliar words for Harris-Jacobson

• cleaned up code of lex.div.num() a bit

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-23 (2012-02-24)

• added precise RGL formula option to FORCAST

• removed validation warnings from several indices, because results have been checked against those of other tools, and were comparable, so the implementations of these measures are assumed to be correct: - lex.div(): TTR, MSTTR, C, R, CTTR, U, Maas, HD-D, MTLD (thanks a lot to scott jarvis & phil mccarthy for calculating sample texts!) - readability(): ARI, ARI NRI, Bormuth, Coleman-Liau, Dale-Chall, Dale-Chall PSK, DRP, Farr-Jenkins-Paterson, Farr-Jenkins-Paterson PSK, Flesch, Flesch PSK, Flesch-Kincaid, FOG, FOG PSK, FORCAST, LIX, RIX, SMOG, Spache, Wheeler-Smith

• moved all calculation from readability() to an internal function kRp.rdb.formulae(). to make it easier to write a similar function to lex.div.num() for the readability fomulas as well

• added readability.num()

• adjusted exsyl calculation for ELF to the approach used in other measures, which also results in a change of its default "syll" parameter from 1 to 2; also corrected a typo in the docs, the index was proposed by Fang, not Farr

• readability results now list letter distribution, not character distribution in desc slot

• the desc slot from readability calculations was enhanced so that it can directly be used as the txt.features parameter for readability.num()

• docs were polished

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-22 (2012-02-08)

• further fixes to the Wheeler-Smith implementation. according to the original paper, polysyllabic words need to be counted, and the example given shows that this means words with more than one syllable, not three or more, as Bamberger & Vanecek (1984) suggested

• fixed HD-D, previous results are now labelled as ATTR in the HDD slot

• adjusted HD-D.char calculation for small number of tokens (probabilities are now set to 1, not NaN)

• added MATTR characteristics

• show() for lex.div() objects now also reports SD for characteristics

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-21 (2012-02-07)

• fixed Wheeler-Smith (thanks to eleni miltsakaki)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-20 (2012-02-06)

• added Moving Average TTR (MATTR) to lex.div(), incl. wrapper MATTR() and show()/summary() methods

• added "rand.sample" and "window" to the parameters returned by lex.div()

• further re-arranged the code of readability() and lex.div() to make it easier to maintain

• summary(flat=TRUE) for readability objects is now a numeric vector

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-19 (2012-02-02)

• added five harris-jacobson readability formulae, incl. wrapper harris.jacobson() and show()/summary() methods

• updated vignette

• MTLD characteristics are now twice as fast

• classes "kRp.txt.freq" and "kRp.txt.trans" now simply extend "kRp.tagged", and "kRp.analysis" extends "kRp.txt.freq"

• removed internal function check.kRp.object() (globally replaced by inherits())

• fixed letter count issue in readability()

• fixed bugs in loading word lists in readability()

• fixed crash if index="all" in readability()

• reordered default kRp.readabilty slot order alphabetically, as well as show() and summary() for readability results

• renamed results of the Neue Wiener Sachtextformeln from WSTF* to nWS* in readability object methods show() and summary() for consistency

• renamed WSFT() to nWS() for the same reason

• cleaned up roxygen comments for more roxygen2 compliance

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-18 (2012-01-22)

• added missing word exclusion to Gunning FOG measure

• added sentence length, word length, distribution of characters and letters to "desc" slot of class kRp.tagged and readability() results, where missing

• both syllable (hyphen()) and character distributions gained inversed cummulation for absolute numbers and percentages, so this one table now makes it easy to see how many words with more/equal/less characters/syllables there are in a text

• changed internals of kRp.freq.analysis() and readability() to re-use descriptives of tagged text objects

• NOTE: this also changed the names of some result elements in their "desc" slots for overall consistency ("avg.sent.len" is now "avg.sentc.length", "avg.word.len" became "avg.word.length", and instances of "num.words", "num.chars" etc. lost the "num." prefix). in case you accessed these directly, check if you need to adopt these changes. this is a first round of changes towards 0.05, see the notes to 0.04-17 below!

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-17 (2012-01-17)

• replaced the english hyphenation parameter set with a new one, which was made with PatGen2 especially for koRpus

• tokenize() will now interpret single letters followed by a dot as an abbreviation (e.g., of a name), not a sentence ending, if heuristics include "abbr"

• fixed bug which caused hyphen() to drop syllables if only one pattern match was found

• added cache support to the correct method of class kRp.hyphen

• added number of words and sentences to "desc" slot of class kRp.tagged

• elaborated treetag() error message if no TreeTagger command was specified

• NOTE: koRpus 0.05 will likely merge some object classes similar to kRp.tagged, i.e. kRp.txt.freq and kRp.txt.trans, into one class for tokenized text, either replacing or inheriting those classes

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-16 (2012-01-15)

• added slot "desc" to class kRp.tagged, to have descriptive statistics directly available in the object

• added support for descriptive statistics to tokenize() and treetag()

• added function text.features() to extract a 9-features set from texts for authorship detection (inspired by a talk at the 28C3)

• hyphen() can now cache results on a per session basis, making it noticeably faster

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-15 (2012-01-04)

• manage.hyph.pat() is now an exported function

• added initial support for italian (thanks to alberto mirisola)

• hyphen now considers hyphenating before last letters of a word

• tuned hyph.en (with contributions by laura hauser)

• fixed check for existing tokenizer, tagger and parameter file in treetag()

• fixed MTLD calculation for texts which don't make even one factor

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-14 (2011-12-22)

• added new internal function manage.hyph.pat() to add/replace/remove pattern entries for hyphenation

• added number of tokens per factor and standard deviation to MTLD results (thx to aris xanthos for the suggestion)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-13 (2011-11-22)

• added column "token" to slots MTLD$all.forw and MTLD$all.back of lex.div() results, so you can verify the results more easily

• slot HDD$type.probs of lex.div() results is now sorted (decreasing)

• removed warnings of missing encoding, since enc2utf() seems to do a pretty good job

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-12 (2011-11-21)

• added support for the newer LCC .tar archive format

• changed vignette accordingly

• for consistency, changed "words" and "dist.words" into "tokens" and "types" in class kRp.corp.freq, slot desc

• added lgV0 and lgeV0 to lex.div.num()

• show method for class kRp.TTR now excludes Inf values from charasteristics values

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-11 (2011-11-20)

• added function lex.div.num(), calculates TTR family measures by numbers of tokens and types directly

• cleaned up lex.div() code a little

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-10 (2011-11-19)

• fixed missing 'input.enc' information if treetag() option 'treetagger' is not "manual" but a script

• enhanced encoding handling internally if none was specified

• changed default value of 'case.sens' to FALSE in lex.div(), as this seems to be more common

• changed default value of 'fileEncoding' from "UTF-8" to NULL and use enc2utf() internally if no encoding was defined

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-9 (2011-10-27)

• tokenize() now converts all input to UTF-8 internally, to prevent conflicts later on (treetag() does that since 0.04-7 already)

• added an experimental feature to treetag() to replace TreeTagger's tokenizer with tokenize()

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-8 (2011-09-21)

• fixed bugs in treetag(): "debug" now works without "manual" config as well, and global TT.options are now found if no preset was selected

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-7 (2011-09-16)

• added "encoding" option to treetag() and defaults to the language presets

• fixed some option check and file path issues in treetag()

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-6 (2011-09-11)

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-3 (2011-08-19)

• modularized language support by the internal function set.lang.support(), this should make it much easier to add new languages in the future, because it means to add only one R file. hyphen(), kRp.POS.tags() and treetag() now use this new method

• added CITATION file

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-2 (2011-08-18)

• fixed duplicate "PREP" definition in spanish POS tags, which caused treetag() to consume lots of RAM

• fixed superfluous "es" definitions in treetag()

Changes in koRpus version 0.04-1 (2011-08-16)

• added support for spanish (thanks to earl brown)

• docs can be created from source by roxygen2 (but all class docs are static, until '@slot' works again)

Changes in koRpus version 0.03-2 (2011-08-03)

• added the full RKWard plugin as inst/rkward, so both get updated simultanously

• added experimental internal functions to import result logs from Readability Studio and TextQuest

Changes in koRpus version 0.03-1 (2011-07-29)

• integrated internal tags to kRp.POS.tags(), so tokenize() can return valid kRp.tagged class objects, i.e. substitute TreeTagger if it's not available

• consequently renamed 'treetagger' option into 'tagger' in readability(), kRp.freq.analysis() and kRp.text.analysis()

• lots of small fixes

Changes in koRpus version 0.02-9 (2011-07-17)

• added a simple tokenize() function

• first working version of read.corp.custom()

• added "..." option to readability, kRp.freq.analysis and kRp.text.analysis, to configure treetag()

• added TT.options to the get/set environment functions
