A 1-hour seminar where I talk about caret (Classification and Regression Training), an R library created by Max Kuhn that provides a unified syntax to train, evaluate and compare a myriad of Machine Learning models, greatly reducing a Data Scientist’s time dealing with this part of the job. On this talk I go over most of its capabilities, providing examples along the way. The code and dataset I use on it can be found here.
