missing LOUGHRAN lexicon? about tidytext HOT 11 CLOSED

This sentiment lexicon is in the development version here on GitHub but not yet on CRAN. Be sure to install from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("juliasilge/tidytext")

from tidytext.

You could clone the whole repo, put it on your local machine, and use devtools::install_local()?

from tidytext.

I've got a short term workaround! You could read the sentiments table from GitHub:

sentiments <- readr::read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/juliasilge/tidytext/master/data-raw/sentiments.csv")

(Or download that file and read it locally). At that point you could use sentiments %>% filter(lexicon == "mcdonald") in place of using get_sentiments().

from tidytext.

IIRC you can download the tarball and install from the command line with R CMD install, but I haven't tried it recently.

argh!! I cannot use the development version because I cannot install devtools (I am on a firewalled machine)... any workaround here? thanks @juliasilge !

from tidytext.

Oh bummer... We are preparing a new version for CRAN in the near future but probably not for another several weeks (before our book gets published).

from tidytext.

you mean cloning the whole tidytext package?

from tidytext.

anyway... it seems I also need to install rtools to make devtool work. Not possible as I don't have admin rights. I can only wait until you push the new version on cran! sob sob

thanks @juliasilge :)

@dgrtwo awfully wonderful! (sentiment = ?)

thanks!

actually the solution by @dgrtwo works perfectly fine. A quick follow up. Which version of the dictionary are you using? I see on https://www3.nd.edu/~mcdonald/Word_Lists.html that there has been an update in 2015. In any case, keep up the good work, this package is G R E A T
