textnets.network.textual_spanning(m: ndarray, alpha: float = 1.0) ndarray[source]

Calculate textual spanning of documents in a similarity matrix.

Parameters:
  • m (array) – Document similarity matrix.

  • alpha (float, optional) – Tuning parameter to change relevance of edge weights vs. document counts in calculating the spanning score (default: 1.0).

Returns:

Each node’s textual spanning measure.

Return type:

numpy.array

Notes

The textual spanning measure is not effective on disconnected graphs.
