## What is a workflow?
A workflow is an object that can bundle together your pre-processing, modeling, and post-processing requests. For example, if you have a `recipe` and `parsnip` model, these can be combined into a workflow. The advantages are:
* You don't have to keep track of separate objects in your workspace.
* The recipe prepping, model fitting, and postprocessor estimation (which may include data splitting) can be executed using a single call to `fit()`.
* If you have custom tuning parameter settings, these can be defined using a simpler interface when combined with [tune](https://github.com/tidymodels/tune).
## Installation
You can install workflows from CRAN with:
``` r
install.packages("workflows")
```
You can install the development version from [GitHub](https://github.com/) with:
``` r
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("tidymodels/workflows")
```
## Example
Suppose you were modeling data on cars. Say...the fuel efficiency of 32 cars. You know that the relationship between engine displacement and miles-per-gallon is nonlinear, and you would like to model that as a spline before adding it to a Bayesian linear regression model. You might have a recipe to specify the spline:
```{r spline-rec, eval = FALSE}
library(recipes)
library(parsnip)
library(workflows)
spline_cars <- recipe(mpg ~ ., data = mtcars) %>%
step_ns(disp, deg_free = 10)
```
and a model object:
```{r car-mod, eval = FALSE}
bayes_lm <- linear_reg() %>%
set_engine("stan")
```
To use these, you would generally run:
```{r car-fit, eval = FALSE}
spline_cars_prepped <- prep(spline_cars, mtcars)
bayes_lm_fit <- fit(bayes_lm, mpg ~ ., data = juice(spline_cars_prepped))
```
You can't predict on new samples using `bayes_lm_fit` without the prepped version of `spline_cars` around. You also might have other models and recipes in your workspace. This might lead to getting them mixed-up or forgetting to save the model/recipe pair that you are most interested in.
workflows makes this easier by combining these objects together:
```{r wflow, eval = FALSE}
car_wflow <- workflow() %>%
add_recipe(spline_cars) %>%
add_model(bayes_lm)
```
Now you can prepare the recipe and estimate the model via a single call to `fit()`:
```{r wflow-fit, eval = FALSE}
car_wflow_fit <- fit(car_wflow, data = mtcars)
```
You can alter existing workflows using `update_recipe()` / `update_model()` and `remove_recipe()` / `remove_model()`.
