21.24 Plotting Word Frequencies

We can generate the frequency count of all words in a corpus:

freq <- sort(colSums(as.matrix(dtm)), decreasing=TRUE)
head(freq, 14)

##      data      mine       use   pattern   dataset       can     model   cluster 
##      3101      1446      1366       887       776       709       703       616 
## algorithm      rule    featur       set      tree    method 
##       611       609       578       555       547       544

wf   <- data.frame(word=names(freq), freq=freq)
head(wf)

##            word freq
## data       data 3101
## mine       mine 1446
## use         use 1366
## pattern pattern  887
## dataset dataset  776
## can         can  709

We can then plot the frequency of those words that occur at least 500 times in the corpus:

subset(wf, freq>200)                                                  %>%
  ggplot(aes(word, freq))                                              +
  geom_bar(stat="identity")                                            +
  theme(axis.text.x=element_text(angle=45, hjust=1))
