embed 1.0.0

CRAN release: 2022-07-02

embed 0.2.0

CRAN release: 2022-04-13

  • step_embed() now correctly defaults to have a random id with the word “embed”. (#102)

  • step_feature_hash() is soft deprecated in embed in favor of step_dummy_hash() in textrecipes. (#95)

  • Steps now have a dedicated subsection detailing what happens when tidy() is applied. (#105)

  • Reorganize documentation for all recipe step tidy methods (#115).

  • Fixed a bug where woe_table() and step_woe() didn’t respect the factor levels of the outcome. (109)

embed 0.1.5

CRAN release: 2021-11-24

  • Re-licensed package from GPL-2 to MIT. See consent from copyright holders here.

  • The tunable parameter ranges for step_umap() were changed for neighbors, num_comp, and min_dist to prevent uwot segmentation faults. The step also check to see if the data dimensions are consistent with the argument values.

  • Two new PCA steps were added, each using sparse techniques for estimation: step_pca_sparse() and step_pca_sparse_bayes().

  • Updated to use recipes_eval_select() from recipes 0.1.17 (#85).

  • Added prefix argument to step_umap() to harmonize with other recipes steps (#93).

  • All embed recipe steps now officially support empty selections to be more aligned with recipes, dplyr and other packages that use tidyselect.

  • step_woe() no longer warns about high-cardinality predictors when the recipe is estimated. Instead it warns when categories have fewer than 10 data points in the training set. (#74)

embed 0.1.4

CRAN release: 2021-01-16

  • Minor release with changes to test for cases when CRAN cannot get xgboost to work on their Solaris configuration.
