Description

Hi

I'd like to suggest adding the option of document-level covariate (similar to STM in R). Basically it allows the user to investigate relationship between document-level covariates such as source (political affiliation for example), country, etc with topical prevalence. Is it feasible? it would make the package much more useful for social research.

Thank you!
