The workshop is an overview of creating predictive models using R. An example data set will be used to demonstrate a typical workflow: data splitting, pre-processing, model tuning and evaluation. Several R packages will be shown along with the caret package which provides a unified interface to a large number of R’s modeling functions and enables parallel processing. Participants should have a basic understanding of R data structures and basic language elements (i.e. functions, classes, etc).
