Difference between hipster_empath and c_hipster_empath? #1

Closed frastlin closed 6 years ago

frastlin commented 6 years ago

Hello, I am trying to understand this data set to build a representation. I'm a little confused at the difference between hipster_empath and c_hipster_empath. The documentation says:

[c_] *_empath :float occurrences of empath categories in the users latest 200 tweets.

This is only the c_hipster_empath. There is no documentation I see for just hipster_empath. For now I'll just use c_hipster_empath, but I would like to know the difference between the two. Thanks,

Hey frastling, the idea is that hipster_empath is the empath category for a given user, whereas hipster_empath_c is the average of the value of hispter_empath for all users connected to that user!

Makes sense?
