The Wasserstein Index Generation (WIG) model leverages
the WDL model for topic modeling and generates time series
sentiment index, given that the docs are associated with timestamps.
This was used to automatically reconstruct the Economic Policy Uncertain (EPU)
index.
```{r}
# create a small dataset
wigdf <- data.frame(
ref_date = as.Date(c("2012-01-01", "2012-02-01")),
docs = c("this is a sentence", "this is another sentence")
)
wigfit <- wig(wigdf, ref_date, docs, specs = wig_specs(
wdl_control = list(num_topics = 2),
word2vec_control = list(min_count = 1)
))
wigfit
```
