Transforming Nested Dataframes with Prepper in R for Time Series Forecasting
The problem arises from the fact that your data is nested and prepper only sees this nested dataframe. First, sort your dataframe before applying the recipe: sample_data = sample_data[order(sample_data$data),] Then apply the recipe to each year separately: sliding_df <- sliding_period(sample_data,index="data", period="quarter",lookback=7) recipe <- recipe(alvo ~ ., data = sliding_df) %>% update_role(ticker, data, ret_3m, lead_ret, ret_ibov_3m, volume_3m, volat_3m, quarter, new_role = "ID") %>% step_log(c(ativo_circulante,divida_bruta, dy_12m, lc, qt_on), signed = TRUE) %>% step_center(all_predictors()) %>% step_scale(all_predictors()) map(sliding_df$splits[1:2], prepper, recipe = recipe) Note that I changed the prepper function to map and passed the resulting recipe from the pipeline.
