Create a new default blueprint

This page contains the constructors for the default blueprints. They can be extended if you want to add extra behavior on top of what the default blueprints already do, but generally you will extend the non-default versions of the constructors found in the documentation for new_blueprint().

Usage

new_default_formula_blueprint(
  intercept = FALSE,
  allow_novel_levels = FALSE,
  ptypes = NULL,
  formula = NULL,
  indicators = "traditional",
  composition = "tibble",
  terms = list(predictors = NULL, outcomes = NULL),
  levels = NULL,
  ...,
  subclass = character()
)

new_default_recipe_blueprint(
  intercept = FALSE,
  allow_novel_levels = FALSE,
  fresh = TRUE,
  strings_as_factors = TRUE,
  composition = "tibble",
  ptypes = NULL,
  recipe = NULL,
  extra_role_ptypes = NULL,
  ...,
  subclass = character()
)

new_default_xy_blueprint(
  intercept = FALSE,
  allow_novel_levels = FALSE,
  composition = "tibble",
  ptypes = NULL,
  ...,
  subclass = character()
)

Arguments

intercept

A logical. Should an intercept be included in the processed data? This information is used by the process function in the mold and forge function list.

allow_novel_levels

A logical. Should novel factor levels be allowed at prediction time? This information is used by the clean function in the forge function list, and is passed on to scream().

ptypes

Either NULL, or a named list with 2 elements, predictors and outcomes, both of which are 0-row tibbles. ptypes is generated automatically at mold() time and is used to validate new_data at prediction time.

formula

Either NULL, or a formula that specifies how the predictors and outcomes should be preprocessed. This argument is set automatically at mold() time.

indicators

A single character string. Control how factors are expanded into dummy variable indicator columns. One of:

• "traditional" - The default. Create dummy variables using the traditional model.matrix() infrastructure. Generally this creates K - 1 indicator columns for each factor, where K is the number of levels in that factor.

• "none" - Leave factor variables alone. No expansion is done.

• "one_hot" - Create dummy variables using a one-hot encoding approach that expands unordered factors into all K indicator columns, rather than K - 1.

composition

Either "tibble", "matrix", or "dgCMatrix" for the format of the processed predictors. If "matrix" or "dgCMatrix" are chosen, all of the predictors must be numeric after the preprocessing method has been applied; otherwise an error is thrown.

terms

A named list of two elements, predictors and outcomes. Both elements are terms objects that describe the terms for the outcomes and predictors separately. This argument is set automatically at mold() time.

levels

Either NULL or a named list of character vectors that correspond to the levels observed when converting character predictor columns to factors during mold(). This argument is set automatically at mold() time.

...

Name-value pairs for additional elements of blueprints that subclass this blueprint.

subclass

A character vector. The subclasses of this blueprint.

fresh

Should already trained operations be re-trained when prep() is called?

strings_as_factors

Should character columns be converted to factors when prep() is called?

recipe

Either NULL, or an unprepped recipe. This argument is set automatically at mold() time.

extra_role_ptypes

A named list. The names are the unique non-standard recipe roles (i.e. everything except "predictors" and "outcomes"). The values are prototypes of the original columns with that role. These are used for validation in forge().
