Text Analysis Workshop

Hey guys, it was fun getting to show you around the text analysis stuff.

The data file I was using is a bit too large to store here on github, so instead here is a link to it on Google Drive

To replicate what we went over today you will need to do the following:

1. Download the main data file from the google drive link: here
2. Download intro.txt and tutorial.r from the github folder
3. Install the following packages for R:
   1. readtext
   2. quanteda
   3. quanteda.textplots
   4. ggplot2
4. The code is commented out so you are able to see what each section is intended to do/ what question it is answering

Packages for R can be installed as follows:

1) In RStudio's top menu choose "Tools"
2) Select "Install Packages" from the drop down menu
3) Enter the names of the packages you'd like to install (seperating each by a comma)
4) Ensure that the "Install dependencies" box is checked
5) Click install
