Check if all columns are present

check_cols creates a specification of a recipe step that will check if all the columns of the training frame are present in the new data.

check_cols(
  recipe,
  ...,
  role = NA,
  trained = FALSE,
  skip = FALSE,
  id = rand_id("cols")
)

Arguments

recipe

A recipe object. The check will be added to the sequence of operations for this recipe.

...

One or more selector functions to choose variables for this check. See selections() for more details.

role

Not used by this check since no new variables are created.

trained

A logical for whether the selectors in ... have been resolved by prep().

skip

A logical. Should the check be skipped when the recipe is baked by bake()? While all operations are baked when prep() 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 check to identify it.

Value

An updated version of recipe with the new check added to the sequence of any existing operations.

Details

This check will break the bake function if any of the specified columns is not present in the data. If the check passes, nothing is changed to the data.

Tidying

When you tidy() this check, a tibble with columns terms (the selectors or variables selected) and value (the type) is returned.

Examples

data(biomass, package = "modeldata")

biomass_rec <- recipe(HHV ~ ., data = biomass) %>%
  step_rm(sample, dataset) %>%
  check_cols(contains("gen")) %>%
  step_center(all_numeric_predictors())
if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
bake(biomass_rec, biomass[, c("carbon", "HHV")])
} # }
