step_ts_acceleration: Recipes Time Series Acceleration Generator

Description

step_ts_acceleration creates a a specification of a recipe step that will convert numeric data into from a time series into its acceleration.

Usage

step_ts_acceleration(
  recipe,
  ...,
  role = "predictor",
  trained = FALSE,
  columns = NULL,
  skip = FALSE,
  id = rand_id("ts_acceleration")
)

Value

For step_ts_acceleration, an updated version of recipe with the new step added to the sequence of existing steps (if any).

Main Recipe Functions:

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 that will be used to create the new variables. The selected variables should have class numeric
role: For model terms created by this step, what analysis role should they be assigned?. By default, the function assumes that the new variable columns created by the original variables will be used as predictors in a model.
trained: A logical to indicate if the quantities for preprocessing have been estimated.
columns: A character string of variables that will be used as inputs. This field is a placeholder and will be populated once recipes::prep() is used.
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.

Details

Numeric Variables Unlike other steps, step_ts_acceleration does not remove the original numeric variables. recipes::step_rm() can be used for this purpose.

Examples

Run this code

suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(dplyr))
suppressPackageStartupMessages(library(recipes))

len_out    = 10
by_unit    = "month"
start_date = as.Date("2021-01-01")

data_tbl <- tibble(
  date_col = seq.Date(from = start_date, length.out = len_out, by = by_unit),
  a    = rnorm(len_out),
  b    = runif(len_out)
)

# Create a recipe object
rec_obj <- recipe(a ~ ., data = data_tbl) %>%
  step_ts_acceleration(b)

# View the recipe object
rec_obj

# Prepare the recipe object
prep(rec_obj)

# Bake the recipe object - Adds the Time Series Signature
bake(prep(rec_obj), data_tbl)

rec_obj %>% prep() %>% juice()
