step_poly()
creates a specification of a recipe step that will create new
columns that are basis expansions of variables using orthogonal polynomials.
Arguments
- 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
selections()
for more details.- 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
stats::poly()
objects created once the step has been trained.- degree
The polynomial degree (an integer).
- options
A list of options for
stats::poly()
which should not includex
,degree
, orsimple
. Note that the optionraw = TRUE
will produce the regular polynomial values (not orthogonalized).- keep_original_cols
A logical to keep the original variables in the output. Defaults to
FALSE
.- skip
A logical. Should the step be skipped when the recipe is baked by
bake()
? While all operations are baked whenprep()
is run, some operations may not be able to be conducted on new data (e.g. processing the outcome variable(s)). Care should be taken when usingskip = TRUE
as it may affect the computations for subsequent operations.- id
A character string that is unique to this step to identify it.
Value
An updated version of recipe
with the new step added to the
sequence of any existing operations.
Details
step_poly
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 degree
argument of
stats::poly()
. The original variables are removed
from the data and new columns are added. The naming convention
for the new variables is varname_poly_1
and so on.
Tidying
When you tidy()
this step, a tibble with columns
terms
(the columns that will be affected) and degree
is returned.
Tuning Parameters
This step has 1 tuning parameters:
degree
: Polynomial Degree (type: integer, default: 2)
