Title: Run Predictions Inside the Database
Version: 1.0.0
Description: It parses a fitted 'R' model object, and returns a formula in 'Tidy Eval' code that calculates the predictions. It works with several databases back-ends because it leverages 'dplyr' and 'dbplyr' for the final 'SQL' translation of the algorithm. It currently supports lm(), glm(), randomForest(), ranger(), earth(), xgb.Booster.complete(), cubist(), and ctree() models.

Extract classprob trees for partykit models

Description

For use in orbital package.

Usage

.extract_partykit_classprob(model)

Extract processed xgboost trees

Description

For use in orbital package.

Usage

.extract_xgb_trees(model)

Checks that the formula can be parsed

Description

Uses an S3 method to check that a given formula can be parsed based on its class. It currently scans for contrasts that are not supported and in-line functions. (e.g: lm(wt ~ as.factor(am))). Since this function is meant for function interaction, as opposed to human interaction, a successful check is silent.

Usage

acceptable_formula(model)

Arguments

model

An R model object

Examples


model <- lm(mpg ~ wt, mtcars)
acceptable_formula(model)

Prepares parsed model object

Description

Prepares parsed model object

Usage

as_parsed_model(x)

Arguments

x

A parsed model object


Generate trees

Description

Each tree is generated as a flat tree with each node being a seperate part of the case when. This means that the following tree:

Usage

generate_case_when_trees(parsedmodel, default = TRUE)

Details

        +-----+
   +----|x > 0|----+
   |    +-----+    |
   v               v

+——+ +——–+ +–|y < 20|–+ +–|z <= 10 |–+ | +——+ | | +——–+ | v v v v a b c d

will be turned into the following case_when() statement.

case_when(
  x >  0 & y <  20 ~ "a",
  x >  0 & y >= 20 ~ "b",
  x <= 0 & z <= 10 ~ "c",
  x <= 0 & z >  10 ~ "d"
)

instead of a nested case_when()s' like this

case_when(
  x >  0 ~ case_when(
             y <  20 ~ "a",
             y >= 10 ~ "b"
           ),
  x <= 0 ~ case_when(
             z <= 10 ~ "c",
             z >  10 ~ "d"
           )
)

The functions in this file generates these tree. generate_case_when_tree() generates a single tree with generate_case_when_trees() being a convinience wrapper for multiple trees.

generate_tree_node() generates the expressions for each a single ndoe in the tree, where generate_tree_nodes() is a convinience wrapper for calculating all notes.


Construct a single node of a tree

Description

Construct a single node of a tree

Usage

generate_tree_node(node, calc_mode = "")

Arguments

node

a list with named elements path and prediction. See details for more.

calc_mode

character, takes values "" and "calc_mode".

The node list should contain the two lists path and prediction.

The path element has the following structure:

This list can contain 0 or more elemements. The elements but each be of the following format:

  • type character, must be "conditional", "set", or "all".

  • op character. if type == "conditional" must be "more", "more-equal", "less", or "less-equal". if type == "set" must be "in" on ⁠not-in⁠.

  • col character.

  • val if type == "conditional" and vals if type == "set". Can be character or numeric.

The prediction list has the following structure:

It can either be a singular value or a list. If it is a list it will have the following 4 named elements col, val, op, and is_intercept.

  • col character, name of column

  • val val, numeric of character

  • op character, known values are "none" and "multiply". "none" is used then is_intercept == 1.

  • is_interceptinteger, takes values 0 and 1.'

Knit print method for test predictions results

Description

Knit print method for test predictions results

Usage

## S3 method for class 'tidypredict_test'
knit_print(x, ...)

Converts an R model object into a table.

Description

It parses a fitted R model's structure and extracts the components needed to create a dplyr formula for prediction. The function also creates a data frame using a specific format so that other functions in the future can also pass parsed tables to a given formula creating function.

Usage

parse_model(model)

Arguments

model

An R model object.

Examples

library(dplyr)
df <- mutate(mtcars, cyl = paste0("cyl", cyl))
model <- lm(mpg ~ wt + cyl * disp, offset = am, data = df)
parse_model(model)

Turn a path object into an expression

Description

Turn a path object into an expression

Usage

path_formula(x)

Arguments

x

a list.

The input of this function is a list with 4 values.

  • type character, must be "conditional" or "set".

  • op character. if type == "conditional" must be "more", "more-equal", "less", or "less-equal". if type == "set" must be "in" on ⁠not-in⁠.

  • col character.

  • val if type == "conditional" and vals if type == "set". Can be character or numeric. @keywords internal


Turn a path object into a combined expression

Description

Turn a path object into a combined expression

Returns a Tidy Eval formula to calculate fitted values

Description

It parses a model or uses an already parsed model to return a Tidy Eval formula that can then be used inside a dplyr command.

Usage

tidypredict_fit(model)

Arguments

model
