fact_to_int: Convert factor variables into integers
In tvwallace/gefcom17Model: Code used to compete in Gefcom 17
Description
Usage
Arguments
Value
Description
Because xgboost, at least the way I used it, does not work with non-numerical
data fact_to_int converts factors to integers. This function was
more important when I thought inclusion of interactions, e.g.
hour x weekend/weekday, would help performance. It turned out not to be the
case.
Usage
1
Arguments
dt
a data table possibly containing factors variables
Value
the data table with any factors converted in integers
