Hello:
I’m analyzing US presidential inaugural addresses, and I used the period slicer to break the speeches into the following 12 periods:
[1779:1812];[1813:1828];[1829:1848];[1849:1876];[1877:1896];[1897:1912];[1913:1928];[1929:1948];[1949:1964];[1965:1980];[1981:2016];[2017:2017]
In the network mapping function I selected “custom periods” (under “Dynamics”), and then entered “12” for the number of periods. However, the script returned 5 periods, and they do not appear to correspond to the 12 periods I identified using “period slicer.” The documentation for “Dynamical Settings” doesn’t discuss the “custom periods” function.
Thanks
Sean

Dear Sean,
After using the result of the script that is slicing priods of time; you have to chose the following choice in the “Dynamics” submenu of the “Network Mapping” script:
- “Custom periods“
- Recall the exact number of time slices you have built
- Choose “Regular“.
Note that if some periods are empty they won’t appear. It can be the case if a period do not have any document, or if none of the document of a period is selected due to the chosen parameters to build the network (as with top nodes or filters on proximity measure…)!
I hope it helps !!
Enjoy
