I am a graduate psychology student studying extremist literature and my advisor recommended LDA and sent me an article to read describing it but both him and the article are too verbose for me to quite grasp. I then tried a google search but the terminology is throwing me off. I would greatly appreciate it if someone can ELI5!

Imagine 3 groups of friends that you can join based on similar clothes … similar shoes, shirts, and pants… BUT … with more diversity of styles and such, new groups can form (not limited to existing 3).
Basically, LDA is probability of joining an existing group with some probability of forming a new group. Sometimes called Nonparametric Bayes, although would be more appropriately named potentially-infinitely parametric Bayes 😉
