Hi, When coming across Topic Properties during Topic Modelling in SAS Contextual Analysis (Version 14.2), there is an option to adjust the term density. Below is a quote from the SAS CA User guide about this. "Edit topic properties You can edit the properties that affect all topics. Term density refers to how topics are populated with terms; it is defined by a number between 0.5 and 6 (the default value is 2). When term density is closer to 0.5, topics are more densely populated by terms. When term density is closer to 6, topics are less densely populated by terms. This value affects the number of documents that belong to a topic (for example, having fewer terms in a topic captures fewer documents). Values that you enter are rounded to the nearest integer or half-integer. " My question is, how is the term density calculated? Term density usually refers to number of times the term appears in a document as a proportion of the number of words in a document, and this would result in a value between 0 to 1. Hence why are the options 0.5 to 6? Thank you.
