What is the theoretical range for the "sentiment" variable? #126

Closed chengniedotcom closed 2 years ago

When you calculate the sentiment, do you know the theoretical lower bound and upper bounds for this variable? In our data, the min and max are -2.27 and 3.11 separately. But we find it helpful to know the theoretical range of this variable.

From the readme: yielding an unbounded polarity score (*δ*i, j) for each sentence.
