as_task_regr_st.TaskClassifST {mlr3spatiotempcv}

Convert to a Spatiotemporal Regression Task

Description

Convert object to a TaskRegrST.

This is a S3 generic, specialized for at least the following objects:

1. TaskRegrST: Ensure the identity.

2. data.frame() and DataBackend: Provides an alternative to the constructor of TaskRegrST.

3. sf::sf: Extracts spatial meta data before construction.

4. TaskClassif: Calls convert_task().

Usage

## S3 method for class 'TaskClassifST'
as_task_regr_st(
  x,
  target = NULL,
  drop_original_target = FALSE,
  drop_levels = TRUE,
  ...
)

as_task_regr_st(x, ...)

## S3 method for class 'TaskRegrST'
as_task_regr_st(x, clone = FALSE, ...)

## S3 method for class 'data.frame'
as_task_regr_st(
  x,
  target,
  id = deparse(substitute(x)),
  coordinate_names,
  crs = NA_character_,
  coords_as_features = FALSE,
  label = NA_character_,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'DataBackend'
as_task_regr_st(
  x,
  target,
  id = deparse(substitute(x)),
  positive = NULL,
  coordinate_names,
  crs,
  coords_as_features = FALSE,
  label = NA_character_,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'sf'
as_task_regr_st(
  x,
  target = NULL,
  id = deparse(substitute(x)),
  coords_as_features = FALSE,
  label = NA_character_,
  ...
)

## S3 method for class 'TaskClassifST'
as_task_regr_st(
  x,
  target = NULL,
  drop_original_target = FALSE,
  drop_levels = TRUE,
  ...
)

Arguments

x

(any)
Object to convert.

target

(character(1))
Name of the target column.

drop_original_target

(logical(1))
If FALSE (default), the original target is added as a feature. Otherwise the original target is dropped.

drop_levels

(logical(1))
If TRUE (default), unused levels of the new target variable are dropped.

...

(any)
Additional arguments.

clone

(logical(1))
If TRUE, ensures that the returned object is not the same as the input x.

id

(character(1))
Id for the new task. Defaults to the (deparsed and substituted) name of the data argument.

coordinate_names

(character(1))
The column names of the coordinates in the data.

crs

(character(1))
Coordinate reference system. WKT2 or EPSG string.

coords_as_features

(logical(1))
If TRUE, coordinates are used as features. This is a shortcut for task$set_col_roles(c("x", "y"), role = "feature") with the assumption that the coordinates in the data are named "x" and "y".

label

(character(1))
Label for the new instance. Shown in as.data.table(mlr_tasks).

positive

(character(1))
Only for binary classification: Name of the positive class. The levels of the target columns are reordered accordingly, so that the first element of ⁠$class_names⁠ is the positive class, and the second element is the negative class.

Value

TaskRegrST

Examples

if (mlr3misc::require_namespaces(c("sf"), quietly = TRUE)) {
  library("mlr3")
  data("cookfarm_mlr3", package = "mlr3spatiotempcv")

  # data.frame
  as_task_regr_st(cookfarm_mlr3, target = "PHIHOX",
    coords_as_features = FALSE, crs = 26911,
    coordinate_names = c("x", "y"))

  # sf
  cookfarm_sf = sf::st_as_sf(cookfarm_mlr3, coords = c("x", "y"), crs = 26911)
  as_task_regr_st(cookfarm_sf, target = "PHIHOX")
