Readability: Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG)
This is just a convenient wrapper function for readability.
SMOG( txt.file, hyphen = NULL, parameters = c(syll = 3, sqrt = 1.043, fact = 30, const = 3.1291, sqrt.const = 0), ... )
txt.file |
Either an object of class |
hyphen |
An object of class kRp.hyphen. If |
parameters |
A numeric vector with named magic numbers, defining the relevant parameters for the index. |
... |

This function calculates the Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG). In contrast to readability,
which by default calculates all possible indices,
this function will only calculate the index value.
By default calculates formula D by McLaughlin (1969).
If parameters is set to SMOG="C", formula C will be calculated.
If parameters is set to SMOG="simple", the simplified formula is used, and
if parameters="de", the formula adapted to German texts ("Qu", Bamberger & Vanecek,
1984, p. 78).
An object of class kRp.readability.
