posterior

[reddyakilesh22]

words = posterior(m)$terms[topic, ] Error in UseMethod("posterior") : no applicable method for 'posterior' applied to an object of class "c('LDA_Gibbs', 'LDA', 'Gibbs', 'TopicModel')"

I'm getting an error like this. what to do? Do I have to load any more libraries?

[kasperwelbers]

That's pretty weird, because the posterior method is in the topicmodels package (see here), and you should have loaded that already to create m (LDA is also in the topicmodels packages).

Maybe your R session reset for some reason. Could you try running library(topicmodels) again?

Nope, still not working. I cleared my environment and console and tried again but same error

It works for me:

> m = c("a text", "another text", "not very useful") %>% quanteda::dfm() %>% quanteda::convert(to="topicmodels") %>% LDA(k=2, method = "Gibbs")
Warning message:

can you paste the output of sessionInfo(), the output of class(m), and the exact code you are running that produces an error?

m = c("a text", "another text", "not very useful") %>% quanteda::dfm() %>% quanteda::convert(to="topicmodels") %>% LDA(k=2, method = "Gibbs") m A LDA_Gibbs topic model with 2 topics. class(m) [1] "LDA_Gibbs" attr(,"package") [1] "topicmodels" posterior(m) Error in UseMethod("posterior") : no applicable method for 'posterior' applied to an object of class "c('LDA_Gibbs', 'LDA', 'Gibbs', 'TopicModel')"

This is the output of the above code

can you paste the output of sessionInfo()?

also, can you try reinstalling topicmodels?
