[R] NEED HELP : Association in single DTM

[Rahul singh]

Hi Boris,

In that case, if I have lot of free text data (let us assume part of an
Election speech) in one single TEXT document, and i want to find the
association of the top 3 most frequently occurring words with the other
words in the speech, what method do I adopt ?
