tidytextmining ch 2

This week’s assignment is to run the primary code for chapter 2 of ‘Text Mining with R’ which can be found here.

First, we’ll run the code found on the site to demonstrate sentiment analysis in R in book written by Jane Austin.

Afterwards, we’ll extend the practice using our own example and another sentiment lexicon.

Voltaire using Loughran

For our practice, lets look at two books by Voltaire and analyze the sentiment from the loughran lexicon. The two books have been loaded with the wikisourcer package, tidied with dplyr, then plotted with ggplot. The two books we’re working with today are:

  • Candide
  • Micromegas

Visualize it

Here, we’ll take a look at some plots and make some observations.

## Warning: Removed 17 rows containing non-finite values (stat_count).

This view provides an overview, but lets break it down a bit so its easier to read.

It looks like the beginning can be superflous and positive. Also, it looks like chapter 15 is the least negative chapter of all.

## Warning: Removed 5 rows containing missing values (position_stack).

This book looks like it start out positive and loses positivity throughout the book, ending on a superflous note.

## Selecting by n

Looking at this makes me wonder if the sentiment analysis would differ with different translators.
