With recipes, you can use dplyr-like pipeable sequences of feature engineering steps to get your data ready for modeling. For example, to create a recipe containing an outcome plus two numeric predictors and then center and scale (“normalize”) the predictors:
library(recipes)
data(ad_data, package = "modeldata")
ad_rec <- recipe(Class ~ tau + VEGF, data = ad_data) %>%
step_normalize(all_numeric_predictors())
ad_recMore information on recipes can be found at the Get Started page of tidymodels.org.
You may consider recipes as an alternative method for creating and
preprocessing design matrices (also known as model matrices) that can be
used for modeling or visualization. While R already has long-standing
methods for creating such matrices
(e.g. formulas
and model.matrix), there are some limitations to what the existing
infrastructure can
do.
There are several ways to install recipes:
# The easiest way to get recipes is to install all of tidymodels:
install.packages("tidymodels")
# Alternatively, install just recipes:
install.packages("recipes")
# Or the development version from GitHub:
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("tidymodels/recipes")-

If you think you have encountered a bug, please submit an issue.
-
Either way, learn how to create and share a reprex (a minimal, reproducible example), to clearly communicate about your code.
