The modelr package provides functions that help you create elegant pipelines when modelling. It was designed primarily to support teaching the basics of modelling for the 1st edition of R for Data Science.
We no longer recommend it and instead suggest https://www.tidymodels.org/ for a more comprehensive framework for modelling within the tidyverse.
# The easiest way to get modelr is to install the whole tidyverse:
install.packages("tidyverse")
# Alternatively, install just modelr:
install.packages("modelr")library(modelr)The resample class stores a βreferenceβ to the original dataset and a
vector of row indices. A resample can be turned into a dataframe by
calling as.data.frame(). The indices can be extracted using
as.integer():
# a subsample of the first ten rows in the data frame
rs <- resample(mtcars, 1:10)
as.data.frame(rs)

# generate a 30% testing partition and a 70% training partition
ex <- resample_partition(mtcars, c(test = 0.3, train = 0.7))
lapply(ex, dim)

resample objects (organized in a data frame):
# bootstrap
boot <- bootstrap(mtcars, 100)
# k-fold cross-validation
cv1 <- crossv_kfold(mtcars, 5)
# Monte Carlo cross-validation
cv2 <- crossv_mc(mtcars, 100)
dim(boot$strap[[1]])
#> [1] 32 11
dim(cv1$train[[1]])

dim(cv1$test[[1]])
#> [1] 7 11
dim(cv2$train[[1]])
#> [1] 25 11
dim(cv2$test[[1]])

set.seed(1014)
df <- tibble::tibble(
x = sort(runif(100)),
y = 5 * x + 0.5 * x ^ 2 + 3 + rnorm(length(x))
)
mod <- lm(y ~ x, data = df)
df %>% add_predictions(mod)

#> # βΉ 90 more rowsFor visualization purposes it is often useful to use an evenly spaced grid of points from the data:
data_grid(mtcars, wt = seq_range(wt, 10), cyl, vs)
#> # A tibble: 60 Γ 3
#> wt cyl vs
#> <dbl> <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1 1.51 4 0

#> 6 1.51 8 1
#> 7 1.95 4 0
#> 8 1.95 4 1
#> 9 1.95 6 0
#> 10 1.95 6 1
#> # βΉ 50 more rows
# For continuous variables, seq_range is useful
mtcars_mod <- lm(mpg ~ wt + cyl + vs, data = mtcars)
data_grid(mtcars, wt = seq_range(wt, 10), cyl, vs) %>% add_predictions(mtcars_mod)
