bake: Apply a Trained Data Recipe

Description

For a recipe with at least one preprocessing operations that has been trained by prep.recipe(), apply the computations to new data.

Usage

bake(object, ...)

# S3 method for recipe bake(object, new_data = NULL, ..., composition = "tibble")

Arguments

object

A trained object such as a recipe() with at least one preprocessing operation.

...

One or more selector functions to choose which variables will be returned by the function. See selections() for more details. If no selectors are given, the default is to use everything().

new_data

A data frame or tibble for whom the preprocessing will be applied.

composition

Either "tibble", "matrix", "data.frame", or "dgCMatrix" for the format of the processed data set. Note that all computations during the baking process are done in a non-sparse format. Also, note that this argument should be called after any selectors and the selectors should only resolve to numeric columns (otherwise an error is thrown).

Value

A tibble, matrix, or sparse matrix that may have different columns than the original columns in new_data.

Details

bake() takes a trained recipe and applies the operations to a data set to create a design matrix.

If the original data used to train the data are to be processed, time can be saved by using the retain = TRUE option of prep() to avoid duplicating the same operations. With this option set, juice() can be used instead of bake with new_data equal to the training set.

Also, any steps with skip = TRUE will not be applied to the data when bake is invoked. juice() will always have all of the steps applied.
