Description: Creates dummy columns from columns that have categorical
        variables (character or factor types). You can also specify
        which columns to make dummies out of, or which columns to
        ignore. Also creates dummy rows from character, factor, and
        Date columns. This package provides a significant speed
        increase from creating dummy variables through model.matrix().
