How to count two terms as one Text Explorer?

Created: Jul 16, 2020 10:26 AM  |  Last Modified: Jun 10, 2023 1:37 PM (1220 views)

Hi,

In Text Explorer section, I have several different words that relate to the same idea, but I can't count them as a single element. For example: 77 occurrences for the word "Christ" and 55 for the word "Jesus"; or 100 occurrences for "painting" and 50 for "canvas". Jesus/Christ and Painting/Canvas is the same idea in my study, so I would like to aggregate them as one. I would like JMP to count these similar therms together. Is there a way of doing so? Stemming only work for same words with different endings, which is not what I am looking for.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

 

From the Term list, you can select the terms you would like to combine, right-click, and select "recode."  From there, highlight all the terms and select "Group."  You can find more information about recode here.

 

By the way, if you have phrases that you believe are a single concept, to use your example, "Jesus" + "Christ," you can highlight these in the phrase list and then right-click and "Add Phrase."  This will instruct Text Explorer to consider these as one term; the phrase will disappear from the Phrase list and appear on the Term list.
