Workshops
Machine Learning in R
Hosted by Max Kuhn
Monday, Aug 25 | 9:15am - 5:00pm
Join Max Kuhn on a tour through Machine Learning in R, with emphasis on using the software as opposed to general explanations of model building. This workshop is an abbreviated introduction to the tidymodels framework for modeling.
You'll learn about data preparation, model fitting, model assessment and predictions. The focus will be on data splitting and resampling, data pre-processing and feature engineering, model creation, evaluation, and tuning. This is not a deep learning course and will focus on tabular data.
Pre-requisites: some experience with modeling in R and the tidyverse (don't need to be experts); prior experience with lm is enough to get started and learn advanced modeling techniques. In case participants can’t install the packages on their machines, RStudio Server Pro instances will be available that are pre-loaded with the appropriate packages and GitHub repository.
(In-Person & Virtual Ticket Options Available)
