Calculating sentiment scores

A rough measure of sentiment towards a particular hashtag is to measure average sentiment for tweets mentioning a particular hashtag. It's also possible that other things are happening in that tweet, so it's important to inspect both text as well as metrics generated by automated text methods.

  • Do the same for negative tweets with the index sentiment < -0.6.

  • Do the same with #rstats.
