R: Shuffle Variables

step_shuffle {recipes} | R Documentation

## Shuffle Variables

### Description

`step_shuffle` creates a specification of a recipe step that will randomly change the order of rows for selected variables.

### Usage

    step_shuffle(recipe, ..., role = NA, trained = FALSE, columns = NULL,
      skip = FALSE)

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

### 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 will permuted. See `selections()` for more details. For the `tidy` method, these are not currently used.
`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.
`columns` | A character string that contains the names of columns that should be shuffled. These values are not determined until `prep.recipe()` is called.
`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
`x` | A `step_shuffle` object.

### Value

An updated version of `recipe` with the new step added to the sequence of existing steps (if any). For the `tidy` method, a tibble with columns `terms` which is the columns that will be affected.

### Examples

    integers <- data.frame(A = 1:12, B = 13:24, C = 25:36)

    library(dplyr)
    rec <- recipe(~ A + B + C, data = integers) %>%
      step_shuffle(A, B)

    rand_set <- prep(rec, training = integers)

    set.seed(5377)
    bake(rand_set, integers)

    tidy(rec, number = 1)
    tidy(rand_set, number = 1)
