Convert a task from its type to another. — convert

THIS IS A COPY FROM MLR3PIPELINES!

convert_task(
  intask,
  new_target = NULL,
  new_type = NULL,
  drop_original_target = TRUE,
  drop_levels = FALSE,
  ...
)

Arguments

intask	`Task` A `Task` to be converted.
new_target	`character(1)` \| `NULL` New target to be set, must be a column in the `intask` data. If `NULL`, no new target is set, and task is converted as-is.
new_type	`character(1)` \| `NULL` The new task type. Must be in `mlr_reflections$task_types`. If `NULL` (default), a new task with the same task_type is created.
drop_original_target	`logical(1)` If `TRUE` (default), the original target is dropped. Otherwise it is added as a feature.
drop_levels	`logical(1)` If `TRUE`, unused levels of the new target variable are dropped.
...	`any` Further arguments passed to the constructor of the task.

The task's target is replaced by a different column from the data. #FIXME: This needs detailed tests and should be moved to mlr3.
