Julia Silge announces a new package, tidylo:
The package contains examples in the README and vignette, but let’s walk though another, different example here. This weighted log odds approach is useful for text analysis, but not only for text analysis. In the weeks since we’ve had this package up and running, I’ve found myself reaching for it in multiple situations, both text and not, in my real-life day job. For this example, let’s look at the same data as my last post, names given to children in the US.
Which names were most common in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980?
This package looks like it’s worth checking out if you deal with frequency-based problems.
