\title{Get target data of task.}
\usage{
getTaskTargets(task, recode.target = "no")
}
\arguments{
\item{task}{(\link{Task})\cr
The task.}
\item{recode.target}{(\code{character(1)})\cr
Should target classes be recoded? Supported are binary and multilabel classification and survival.
Possible values for binary classification are \dQuote{01}, \dQuote{-1+1} and \dQuote{drop.levels}.
In the two latter cases the target vector is converted into a numeric vector.
The positive class is coded as \dQuote{+1} and the negative class either as \dQuote{0} or \dQuote{-1}.
\dQuote{drop.levels} will remove empty factor levels in the target column.
In the multilabel case the logical targets can be converted to factors with \dQuote{multilabel.factor}.
For survival, you may choose to recode the survival times to \dQuote{left}, \dQuote{right} or \dQuote{interval2} censored times
using \dQuote{lcens}, \dQuote{rcens} or \dQuote{icens}, respectively.
See \link[survival:Surv]{survival::Surv} for the format specification.
Default for both binary classification and survival is \dQuote{no} (do nothing).}
}
\value{
A \code{factor} for classification or a \code{numeric} for regression, a data.frame
of logical columns for multilabel.
