step_ns {recipes} | R Documentation |
step_ns
creates a specification of a recipe step
that will create new columns that are basis expansions of
variables using natural splines.
step_ns( recipe, ..., role = "predictor", trained = FALSE, objects = NULL, deg_free = 2, options = list(), skip = FALSE, id = rand_id("ns") )
recipe |
A recipe object. The step will be added to the sequence of operations for this recipe. |
... |
One or more selector functions to choose variables
for this step. See |
role |
For model terms created by this step, what analysis role should they be assigned? By default, the new columns created by this step from the original variables will be used as predictors in a model. |
trained |
A logical to indicate if the quantities for preprocessing have been estimated. |
objects |
A list of |
deg_free |
The degrees of freedom for the natural spline. As the degrees of freedom for a natural spline increase, more flexible and complex curves can be generated. When a single degree of freedom is used, the result is a rescaled version of the original data. |
options |
A list of options for |
skip |
A logical. Should the step be skipped when the
recipe is baked by |
id |
A character string that is unique to this step to identify it. |
step_ns
can create new features from a single variable
that enable fitting routines to model this variable in a
nonlinear manner. The extent of the possible nonlinearity is
determined by the df
or knot
arguments of
splines::ns()
. The original variables are removed
from the data and new columns are added. The naming convention
for the new variables is varname_ns_1
and so on.
An updated version of recipe
with the new step added to the
sequence of any existing operations.
When you tidy()
this step, a tibble with column
terms
(the columns that will be affected) is returned.
The underlying operation does not allow for case weights.
