translate()
will translate a model specification into a code
object that is specific to a particular engine (e.g. R package).
It translates generic parameters to their counterparts.
translate(x, ...) # S3 method for default translate(x, engine = x$engine, ...)
x | A model specification. |
---|---|
... | Not currently used. |
engine | The computational engine for the model (see |
translate()
produces a template call that lacks the specific
argument values (such as data
, etc). These are filled in once
fit()
is called with the specifics of the data for the model.
The call may also include varying
arguments if these are in
the specification.
It does contain the resolved argument names that are specific to the model fitting function/engine.
This function can be useful when you need to understand how
parsnip
goes from a generic model specific to a model fitting
function.
Note: this function is used internally and users should only use it to understand what the underlying syntax would be. It should not be used to modify the model specification.
