Quantitative Text Analysis and Scaling in R

By the end of this project, you will learn about the concept of document scaling in textual analysis in R. You will know how to load and pre-process a data set of text documents by converting the data set into a corpus and document feature matrix. You will know how to run an unsupervised document scaling model and explore and plot the scaling outcome.
