step_range

Scaling Numeric Data to a Specific Range

Description

step_range creates a specification of a recipe step that will normalize numeric data to be within a pre-defined range of values.

Usage

step_range(
  recipe,
  ...,
  role = NA,
  trained = FALSE,
  min = 0,
  max = 1,
  ranges = NULL,
  skip = FALSE,
  id = rand_id("range")
)

## S3 method for class 'step_range'
tidy(x, ...)

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 which variables will be scaled. See `selections()` for more details. For the `tidy` method, these are not currently used.
`role`	Not used by this step since no new variables are created.
`trained`	A logical to indicate if the quantities for preprocessing have been estimated.
`min`	A single numeric value for the smallest value in the range.
`max`	A single numeric value for the largest value in the range.
`ranges`	A character vector of variables that will be normalized. Note that this is ignored until the values are determined by `prep.recipe()`. Setting this value will be ineffective.
`skip`	A logical. Should the step be skipped when the recipe is baked by `bake.recipe()`? While all operations are baked when `prep.recipe()` 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 using `skip = TRUE` as it may affect the computations for subsequent operations
`id`	A character string that is unique to this step to identify it.
`x`	A `step_range` object.

Details

When a new data point is outside of the ranges seen in the training set, the new values are truncated at min or max.

Value

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), min, and max.

Examples

library(modeldata)
data(biomass)

biomass_tr <- biomass[biomass$dataset == "Training",]
biomass_te <- biomass[biomass$dataset == "Testing",]

rec <- recipe(HHV ~ carbon + hydrogen + oxygen + nitrogen + sulfur,
              data = biomass_tr)

ranged_trans <- rec %>%
  step_range(carbon, hydrogen)

ranged_obj <- prep(ranged_trans, training = biomass_tr)

transformed_te <- bake(ranged_obj, biomass_te)

biomass_te[1:10, names(transformed_te)]
transformed_te

tidy(ranged_trans, number = 1)
tidy(ranged_obj, number = 1)
