step_center {recipes} | R Documentation |
Centering numeric data
Description
step_center()
creates a specification of a recipe step that will
normalize numeric data to have a mean of zero.
Usage
step_center(
recipe,
...,
role = NA,
trained = FALSE,
means = NULL,
na_rm = TRUE,
skip = FALSE,
id = rand_id("center")
)
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 |
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. |
means |
A named numeric vector of means. This is
|
na_rm |
A logical value indicating whether |
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. |
Details
Centering data means that the average of a variable is
subtracted from the data. step_center
estimates the
variable means from the data used in the training
argument of prep.recipe
. bake.recipe
then applies
the centering to new data sets using these means.
Value
An updated version of recipe
with the new step added to the
sequence of any existing operations.
Tidying
When you tidy()
this step, a tibble is returned with
columns terms
, value
, and id
:
- terms
character, the selectors or variables selected
- value
numeric, the means
- id
character, id of this step
Case weights
This step performs an unsupervised operation that can utilize case weights.
As a result, case weights are only used with frequency weights. For more
information, see the documentation in case_weights and the examples on
tidymodels.org
