step_regex
creates a specification of a recipe step that will
create a new dummy variable based on a regular expression.
step_regex( recipe, ..., role = "predictor", trained = FALSE, pattern = ".", options = list(), result = make.names(pattern), input = NULL, skip = FALSE, id = rand_id("regex") ) # S3 method for step_regex tidy(x, ...)
recipe | A recipe object. The step will be added to the sequence of operations for this recipe. |
---|---|
... | A single selector functions to choose which variable
will be searched for the pattern. The selector should resolve
into a single variable. See |
role | For a variable created by this step, what analysis role should they be assigned?. By default, the function assumes that the new dummy variable column created by the original variable will be used as a predictor in a model. |
trained | A logical to indicate if the quantities for preprocessing have been estimated. |
pattern | A character string containing a regular
expression (or character string for |
options | A list of options to |
result | A single character value for the name of the new variable. It should be a valid column name. |
input | A single character value for the name of the
variable being searched. This is |
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. |
x | A |
An updated version of recipe
with the new step
added to the sequence of existing steps (if any). For the
tidy
method, a tibble with columns terms
(the
selectors or variables selected) and result
(the
new column name).
