Mastering Machine Learning with R - Second Edition

Additional quantitative analysis

This portion of the analysis will focus on the power of the qdap package. It allows you to compare multiple documents over a wide array of measures. Our effort will be on comparing the 2010 and 2016 speeches. For starters, we will need into turn the text into data frames, perform sentence splitting, and then combine them to one data frame with a variable created that specifies the year of the speech. We will use this as our grouping variable in the analyses. Dealing with text data, even in R, can be tricky. The code that follows seemed to work the best in this case to get the data loaded and ready for analysis. We first load the qdap package. Then, to bring in the data from a text file, we will use the readLines() ...
