mda.biber - Functions for Multi-Dimensional Analysis

Multi-Dimensional Analysis (MDA) is an adaptation of factor analysis developed by Douglas Biber (1992) <doi:10.1007/BF00136979>. Its most common use is to describe language as it varies by genre, register, and use. This package contains functions for carrying out the calculations needed to describe and plot MDA results: dimension scores, dimension means, and factor loadings.

spell.replacer - Probabilistic Spelling Correction in a Character Vector

Automatically replaces "misspelled" words in a character vector based on their string distance from a list of words sorted by their frequency in a corpus. The default word list provided in the package comes from the Corpus of Contemporary American English. Uses the Jaro-Winkler distance metric for string similarity as implemented in van der Loo (2014) <doi:10.32614/RJ-2014-011>. The word frequency data is derived from Davies (2008-) "The Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA)" <https://www.english-corpora.org/coca/>.
