@kervprayag @moekajee My dude. The anxiety is real. I like to distract my roommates with a pretty sunset or a nice bird to look at while I pop back inside for peaceful squat 😌 as a side note, I am planning to compile a book of boskak stories and I will be in touch re submissions 💩😆

#Rstats + #textanalysis Twitter, pls help: I’m using LDA to delineate 15 topics from a sample of 1594 documents (abstracts only). Used #tidytext and #topicmodels. Is it normal for the topics to change SUBSTANTIALLY by removing just ONE document from the sample?
