Description

Obtains predictions of topics for new documents from a fitted CTM model

Usage

## S3 method for class 'ctm_topic_model'
predict(object, newdata, ...)

Arguments

object

a fitted object of class "ctm_topic_model"

newdata

a DTM or TCM of class dgCMatrix or a numeric vector

...

further arguments passed to or from other methods.

Value

a "theta" matrix with one row per document and one column per topic

Note

Predictions for this method are performed using the "dot" method as described in the textmineR vignette "c_topic_modeling".

Examples

# Load a pre-formatted dtm 
## Not run: 
data(nih_sample_dtm) 

model <- FitCtmModel(dtm = nih_sample_dtm[1:20,], k = 3,
                     calc_coherence = FALSE, calc_r2 = FALSE)

# Get predictions on the next 50 documents
pred <- predict(model, nih_sample_dtm[21:100,])

## End(Not run)
