Thanks to everyone who came out for the text section tonight. Because the files are really large, I've put them in the public folder of my dropbox. You can grab them here:
Eventually they will be up on my website but until I have time to take care of that I will leave this link active. The zipped folder is approximately 75MB and contains the following:
1) Tonight's Section Slides
2) The code to grab word counts from the NYT API
3) An R package you will need to install locally to use the code above (RJSONIO also available from OmegaHat)
4) Some R code to grab tweets off twitter and do some basic count work with them.
5) A Folder of Materials from a Presentation I gave at University of Washington including:
5a) A Lab Handout walking through three clustering algorithms: k-means, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Grimmer's Expressed Agenda Model
5b) The slides from my presentation on clustering algorithms
5c) A references list including software, textbooks and articles for text analysis
5d) The files needed to do the lab
5e) The files I used to prep the labs from the raw text
5f) The raw texts
The workshop website is here:
http://toolsfortext.wordpress.com/ and if you really can't get enough of me talking I think there's a video on there somewhere of me giving the presentation.
If you guys have any questions about the material- feel free to shoot me an email. Good luck with the end of semester rush!
