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 ``` ## See Also See also `vignette("wdl-model")`, `vignette("specs")`. ## References Baker, S.
