# S3 method for earth
axe_data(x, verbose = FALSE, ...)

# S3 method for earth
axe_fitted(x, verbose = FALSE, ...)

Arguments

x

Examples

# Load libraries
library(parsnip)

# Create model and fit
earth_fit <- mars(mode = "regression") %>%
  set_engine("earth") %>%
  fit(Volume ~ ., data = trees)

out <- butcher(earth_fit, verbose = TRUE)
#> ✖ The butchered object is 2.02 kB larger than the original. Do not butcher.

# Another earth model object
suppressWarnings(suppressMessages(library(earth)))
earth_mod <- earth(Volume ~ ., data = trees)
out <- butcher(earth_mod, verbose = TRUE)
#> ✖ The butchered object is 712 B larger than the original. Do not butcher.
