partition {nuggets}R Documentation

Convert columns of data frame to Boolean or fuzzy sets

Description

Convert the selected columns of the data frame into either dummy logical columns (for logicals and factors), or into membership degrees of fuzzy sets (for numeric columns), while leaving the remaining columns untouched. Each column selected for transformation typically yields in multiple columns in the output.

Usage

partition(
  .data,
  .what = everything(),
  ...,
  .breaks = NULL,
  .labels = NULL,
  .na = TRUE,
  .keep = FALSE,
  .method = "crisp",
  .right = TRUE
)

Arguments

.data

the data frame to be processed

.what

a tidyselect expression (see tidyselect syntax) specifying the columns to be transformed

...

optional other tidyselect expressions selecting additional columns to be processed

.breaks

for numeric columns, this has to be either an integer scalar or a numeric vector. If .breaks is an integer scalar, it specifies the number of resulting intervals to break the numeric column to (for .method="crisp") or the number of target fuzzy sets (for .method="triangle" or ⁠.method="raisedcos⁠). If .breaks is a vector, the values specify the borders of intervals (for .method="crisp") or the breaking points of fuzzy sets.

.labels

character vector specifying the names used to construct the newly created column names. If NULL, the labels are generated automatically.

.na

if TRUE, an additional logical column is created for each source column that contains NA values. For column named x, the newly created column's name will be x=NA.

.keep

if TRUE, the original columns being transformed remain present in the resulting data frame.

.method

The method of transformation for numeric columns. Either "crisp", "triangle", or "raisedcos" is required.

.right

If .method="crisp", this argument specifies if the intervals should be closed on the right (and open on the left) or vice versa.

Details

Concretely, the transformation of each selected column is performed as follows:

Value

A tibble created by transforming .data.
