Preprocess Data for the vaeac approach

Description

vaeac only supports numerical values. This function converts categorical features to numerics with class labels 1,2,...,K, and keeps track of the map between the original and new class labels. It also computes the one_hot_max_sizes.

Usage

vaeac_preprocess_data(
  data,
  log_exp_cont_feat = FALSE,
  normalize = TRUE,
  norm_mean = NULL,
  norm_std = NULL
)

Arguments

data	matrix/data.frame/data.table containing the training data. Only the features and not the response.
log_exp_cont_feat	Boolean. If we are to log transform all continuous features before sending the data to vaeac. vaeac creates unbounded values, so if the continuous features are strictly positive, as for Burr and Abalone data, it can be advantageous to log-transform the data to unbounded form before using vaeac. If TRUE, then vaeac_postprocess_data will take the exp of the results to get back to strictly positive values.
norm_mean	Torch tensor (optional). A 1D array containing the means of the columns of x_torch.
norm_std	Torch tensor (optional). A 1D array containing the stds of the columns of x_torch.

Value

list containing data which can be used in vaeac, maps between original and new class names for categorical features, one_hot_max_sizes, and list of information about the data.
