R: Check if all Columns are Present

check_cols {recipes} | R Documentation

## Check if all Columns are Present

### Description

`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.

### Usage

    check_cols(recipe, ..., role = NA, trained = FALSE, skip = FALSE)

    ## S3 method for class 'check_cols'
    tidy(x, ...)

### 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 which variables are checked in the check See `selections()` for more details. For the `tidy` method, these are not currently used.
`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.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.
`x` | A `check_cols` object.

### Details

This check will break the `bake` function if any of the checked columns does contain `NA` values. If the check passes, nothing is changed to the data.

### Examples

    data(biomass)

    biomass_rec <- recipe(HHV ~ ., data = biomass) %>%
       step_rm(sample, dataset) %>%
       check_cols(contains("gen")) %>%
       step_center(all_predictors())

    ## Not run:
    bake(biomass_rec, biomass[, c("carbon", "HHV")])

    ## End(Not run)
