--comparative_tagcloud

Switch

--comparative_tagcloud

Description

Produces a tagcloud comparing two samples of groups against each other directly, rather than correlating features against an outcome. Aliased as --comparative_wordcloud.

Argument and Default Value

No argument. Boolean switch, default: False.

Details

Requires both --sample1 and --sample2 to be given — the check is if args.compTagcloud and args.compTCsample1 and args.compTCsample2:, so this switch alone does nothing without both samples. Internally calls oa.IDPcomparison(fg, sample1, sample2, ...), the same Informative Dirichlet Prior machinery as --IDP, comparing word usage between the two group sets instead of against a numeric/binary outcome.

Other Switches

Required Switches:

• --sample1

• --sample2

• -f
