Fixing Errors in R's CreateDtm Function: Understanding the "by" Argument
Error in seq.default(1, length(tokens), 5000): wrong sign in ‘by’ argument in R Problem Overview The problem arises from using the seq.default function within the CreateDtm function. The error message indicates that there is a wrong sign in the “by” argument. This occurs when the number of tokens in the data frame is 0, causing the sequence to generate an empty list instead of the expected sequence. Background The CreateDtm function in R is used to create a document-term matrix (DTM) from a dataset.
