Hello,  
I am quite new here, hopefully I didn’t miss something.

I would like to use the TextAnalysis package for some language modeling like explained here [Statistical Language Model - TextAnalysis](https://juliatext.github.io/TextAnalysis.jl/dev/LM/)  
My TextAnalysis version is 0.7.0 (the one from master branch)

When even trying to use the most simply version

> using TextAnalysis
> 
> voc = [“a”, “word”]
> 
> mle = MLE(voc)

The result:

> UndefVarError: MLE not defined
> 
> in include\_string at base\loading.jl:1088
> 
> in top-level scope at shajdvfkhsd.jl:5

This happens for all API calls.

I appreciate any help, thank you.

Did you check if `MLE` is exported? In other words, do the code work if you use `TextAnalysis.MLE` instead? Otherwise, maybe the documentation you are looking at is for a different version than you are using.

I’m in the middle of a major refactoring of the TextAnalysis codebase. Please check back in a few days.

In the meantime, you should use the master of TextAnalysis, but note that things might change from under you pretty quickly.

It doesn’t work with TextAnalysis.MLE(voc), if I understood that correctly. I will await the update from @avik then. I am already using the master.

Thanks for the fast replies.
