Details
This function calculates the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG). In contrast to readability
,
which by default calculates all possible indices,
this function will only calculate the index value.
By default calculates formula D by McLaughlin (1969).
If parameters
is set to SMOG="C"
, formula C will be calculated.
If parameters
is set to SMOG="simple"
, the simplified formula is used, and
if parameters="de"
, the formula adapted to German texts ("Qu", Bamberger & Vanecek,
1984, p. 78).
Value
An object of class kRp.readability
.
