      • .dat(): A data frame containing all of the predictors and the +outcomes. If fit_xy() was used, the outcomes are attached as the +column, ..y.

      For example, if you use the model formula Sepal.Width ~ . with the iris data, the values would be

    Simple interface to MLP models via keras

    + + +
    + +
    + +

    Instead of building a keras model sequentially, keras_mlp can be used to +create a feedforward network with a single hidden layer. Regularization is +via either weight decay or dropout.

    + + 
    keras_mlp(x, y, hidden_units = 5, decay = 0, dropout = 0,
+  epochs = 20, act = "softmax", seeds = sample.int(10^5, size = 3),
+  ...)
    + +

    Arguments

    +

    A single character string for the type of model. Possible values for this model are "unknown", "regression", or "classification".

    This class and structure is the basis for how parsnip
 stores model objects prior to seeing the data.
    
     
+    
    Argument Details
    
+
+    
+    
    An important detail to understand when creating model
+specifications is that they are intended to be functionally
+independent of the data. While it is true that some tuning
+parameters are data dependent, the model specification does
+not interact with the data at all.
    
+
    For example, most R functions immediately evaluate their
+arguments. For example, when calling mean(dat_vec), the object
+dat_vec is immediately evaluated inside of the function.
    
+
    parsnip model functions do not do this. For example, using
    
+
    + rand_forest(mtry = ncol(iris) - 1)
+
    
+    
    does not execute ncol(iris) - 1 when creating the specification.
+This can be seen in the output:
    
+
    + > rand_forest(mtry = ncol(iris) - 1)
+ Random Forest Model Specification (unknown)
+    Main Arguments:
+   mtry = ncol(iris) - 1
+
    
+    
    The model functions save the argument expressions and their
+associated environments (a.k.a. a quosure) to be evaluated later
+when either fit() or fit_xy() are called with the actual
+data.
    
+
    The consequence of this strategy is that any data required to
+get the parameter values must be available when the model is
+fit. The two main ways that this can fail is if:
    
+
      
+
    1. The data have been modified between the creation of the
+model specification and when the model fit function is invoked.
      2. 
+
    2. If the model specification is saved and loaded into a new
+session where those same data objects do not exist.
      3. 
+
    
+    
    The best way to avoid these issues is to not reference any data
+objects in the global environment but to use data descriptors
+such as .cols(). Another way of writing the previous
+specification is
    
+
    + rand_forest(mtry = .cols() - 1)
+
    
+    
    This is not dependent on any specific data object and
+is evaluated immediately before the model fitting process begins.
    
+
    One less advantageous approach to solving this issue is to use
+quasiquotation. This would insert the actual R object into the
+model specification and might be the best idea when the data
+object is small. For example, using
    
+
    + rand_forest(mtry = ncol(!!iris) - 1)
+
    
+    
    would work (and be reproducible between sessions) but embeds
+the entire iris data set into the mtry expression:
    
+
    + > rand_forest(mtry = ncol(!!iris) - 1)
+ Random Forest Model Specification (unknown)
+    Main Arguments:
+   mtry = ncol(structure(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, <snip>
+
    
+    
    However, if there were an object with the number of columns in
+it, this wouldn't be too bad:
    
+
    + > mtry_val <- ncol(iris) - 1
+ > mtry_val
+ [1] 4
+ > rand_forest(mtry = !!mtry_val)
+ Random Forest Model Specification (unknown)
+    Main Arguments:
+   mtry = 4
+
    
+

-interface to via fit is available; using fit_xy will
-generate an error. Second, the predictions will always be in a
-spark table format. The names will be the same as documented but
-without the dots. Third, there is no equivalent to factor
-columns in spark tables so class predictions are returned as
-character columns. Fourth, to retain the model object for a new
-R session (via save), the model$fit element of the parsnip
-object should be serialized via ml_save(object$fit) and
-separately saved to disk. In a new session, the object can be
-reloaded and reattached to the parsnip object.

+\section{Argument Details}{
+
+
+An important detail to understand when creating model
+specifications is that they are intended to be functionally
+independent of the data. While it is true that some tuning
+parameters are \emph{data dependent}, the model specification does
+not interact with the data at all.
+
+For example, most R functions immediately evaluate their
+arguments. For example, when calling \code{mean(dat_vec)}, the object
+\code{dat_vec} is immediately evaluated inside of the function.
+
+\code{parsnip} model functions do not do this. For example, using
+
+\preformatted{
+ rand_forest(mtry = ncol(iris) - 1)
+}
+
+\strong{does not} execute \code{ncol(iris) - 1} when creating the specification.
+This can be seen in the output:
+
+\preformatted{
+ > rand_forest(mtry = ncol(iris) - 1)
+ Random Forest Model Specification (unknown)
+
+ Main Arguments:
+   mtry = ncol(iris) - 1
+}
+
+The model functions save the argument \emph{expressions} and their
+associated environments (a.k.a. a quosure) to be evaluated later
+when either \code{\link[=fit]{fit()}} or \code{\link[=fit_xy]{fit_xy()}} are called with the actual
+data.
+
+The consequence of this strategy is that any data required to
+get the parameter values must be available when the model is
+fit. The two main ways that this can fail is if:
+
+\enumerate{
+\item The data have been modified between the creation of the
+model specification and when the model fit function is invoked.
+
+\item If the model specification is saved and loaded into a new
+session where those same data objects do not exist.
+}
+
+The best way to avoid these issues is to not reference any data
+objects in the global environment but to use data descriptors
+such as \code{.cols()}. Another way of writing the previous
+specification is
+
+\preformatted{
+ rand_forest(mtry = .cols() - 1)
+}
+
+This is not dependent on any specific data object and
+is evaluated immediately before the model fitting process begins.
+
+One less advantageous approach to solving this issue is to use
+quasiquotation. This would insert the actual R object into the
+model specification and might be the best idea when the data
+object is small. For example, using
+
+\preformatted{
+ rand_forest(mtry = ncol(!!iris) - 1)
+}
+
+would work (and be reproducible between sessions) but embeds
+the entire iris data set into the \code{mtry} expression:
+
+\preformatted{
+ > rand_forest(mtry = ncol(!!iris) - 1)
+ Random Forest Model Specification (unknown)
+
+ Main Arguments:
+   mtry = ncol(structure(list(Sepal.Length = c(5.1, 4.9, 4.7, 4.6, 5, 
+}
+
+However, if there were an object with the number of columns in
+it, this wouldn't be too bad:
+
+\preformatted{
+ > mtry_val <- ncol(iris) - 1
+ > mtry_val
+ [1] 4
+ > rand_forest(mtry = !!mtry_val)
+ Random Forest Model Specification (unknown)
+
+ Main Arguments:
+   mtry = 4

 ### Do I have to return a simple vector for `predict_num` and `predict_class`?
 
-_(Note: how to return submodels is being debated right now. This section may change)_
-
 Previously, when discussing the `pred` information:
 
 > For `pred`, the model requires an unnamed numeric vector output **(usually)**.
 
-There are some models (e.g. `glmnet`, `plsr`, `Cubist`, etc.) that can make predictions for different models from the same fitted model object. We want to facilitate that here so that, for these cases, the current convention is to return a tibble with the prediction in a column called `values` and have extra columns for any parameters that define the different sub-models. 
+There are some occasions where a prediction for a single new sample may be multidimensional. Examples are enumerated [here](https://tidymodels.github.io/model-implementation-principles/notes.html#list-cols) but some easy examples are:
+
+ * confidence or prediction intervals
+ * quantile regression predictions. 
+ 
+and so on. These can be accomodated via `predict.model_fit` using different `type` arguments. 
 
-For example, if I fit a linear regression model via `glmnet` and get four values of the regularization parameter (`lambda`):
+However, there are some models (e.g. `glmnet`, `plsr`, `Cubist`, etc.) that can make predictions for different models from the same fitted model object. The regular `predict` method requires prediction from a single model but the `multi_predict` can. The guideline is to _always return the same number of rows as in `new_data`_. This means that the `.pred` column is a list-column of tibbles. 
 
-```{r glmnet}
-linear_reg(others = list(nlambda = 4)) %>%
-  fit(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars, engine = "glmnet") %>%
-  predict(new_data = mtcars[1:3, -1])
+For example, for a multinomial `glmnet` model, we leave `penalty` unspecified when fitting and get predictions on a sequence of values:
+
+```{r mnom-glmnet-fit}
+mod <- multinom_reg(mixture = 1/3)
+mod_fit <- fit(mod, Species ~ ., data = iris, engine = "glmnet")
+
+preds <- multi_predict(mod_fit, iris[1:3, -5], penalty = c(0, 0.01, 0.1), type = "prob")
+preds
+preds[[".pred"]][1]
 ```
+This can be easily expanded to remove the list columns:
 
-_However_, the api is still being developed. Currently, there is not an interface in the prediction functions to pass in the values of the parameters to make predictions with (`lambda`, in this case). 
+```{r mnom-glmnet-expand}
+preds %>%
+  mutate(.row = 1:nrow(preds)) %>%
+  tidyr::unnest()
+```
 
-Also, as previously mentioned, a matrix or data frame can be used for multivariate outcomes. 
+`multi_predict` doesn't exist for every model and needs to be implmented by the developer. See `methods("multi_predict")` for examples in this package. 
 
 ### What is the `defaults` slot and why do I need it?
 
 You might want to set defaults that can be overridden by the user. For example, for logistic regression with `glm`, it make sense to default `family = binomial`. However, if someone wants to use a different link function, they should be able to do that. For that model/engine definition, it has
 
 ```{r glm-alt, eval = FALSE}
-defaults = list(family = expr(binomial))
+defaults = list(family = expr(stats::binomial))

 * have no `varying()` parameters, and
 * specify a computational engine. 
 
-The first step before fitting the model is to resolve the underlying model's syntax. A helper function called `translate` does this:
-
-```{r rf-translate}
-library(parsnip)
-rf_mod <- rand_forest(trees = 2000, mode = "regression")
-rf_mod
+For example, `rf_with_seed` above is not ready for fitting due the `varying()` parameter. We can set that parameter's value and then create the model fit: 
 
-translate(rf_mod, engine = "ranger")
-translate(rf_mod, engine = "randomForest")
+```{r, eval = FALSE}
+rf_with_seed %>% 
+  set_args(mtry = 4) %>% 
+  fit(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars, engine = "ranger")
 ```
 
-Note that any extra engine-specific arguments have to be valid for the model:
-
-```{r rf-error, error = TRUE}
-translate(rf_with_seed, engine = "ranger")
-translate(rf_with_seed, engine = "randomForest")
+```

+#> R squared (OOB):                  0.847
 ```
 
-`translate` shouldn't need to be used unless you are really curious about the model fit function or what R packages are needed to fit the model. The function in the next section will always translate the model.

-## Fitting the Model
-
-These models can be fit using the `fit` function. Only the model object is returned. 
+Or, using the `randomForest` package: 
 
-```r
-fit(rf_mod, mpg ~ ., data = mtcars, engine = "ranger")
+```{r, eval = FALSE}
+set.seed(56982)
+rf_with_seed %>% 
+  set_args(mtry = 4) %>% 
+  fit(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars, engine = "randomForest")
 ```
 
 ```

+Note that the call objects show `num.trees = ~2000`. The tilde is the consequence of `parsnip` using quosures to process the model specification's arguments. 
 
-```r
-fit(rf_mod, mpg ~ ., data = mtcars, engine = "randomForest")
-```
+Normally, when a function is executed, the function's arguments are immediately evaluated. In the case of `parsnip`, the model specification's arguments are _not_; the expression is captured along with the environment where it should be evaluated. That is what a quosure does. 
+
+`parsnip` uses these expressions to make a model fit call that is evaluated. The tilde in the call above reflects that the argument was captured using a quosure.
