Lots of Package News
I’ve sent a slew of packages to CRAN recently (thanks to Swetlana and Uwe). There are updates to: caret was primarily updated to deal with an issue introduced in the last version. It is a good idea to avoid fully loading the underlying modeling packages to avoid name conflicts. We made that change in the last version and it ended up being mor...

While you wait for that to finish, can I interest you in parallel processing?
caret has been able to utilize parallel processing for some time (before it was on CRAN in October 2007) using slightly different versions of the package. Around September of 2011, caret started using the foreach package was used to “harmonize” the parallel processing technologies thanks to a super smart guy named Steve Weston. I’ve done a...

RStudio 2018 Conference Presentation and Materials
We’ve released our videos of the talks at the 2018 RStudio conference. My talk was Modeling in the Tidyverse (video) and I was also in the Tidyverse fireside chat (video). There are a lot of great talks on the conference website. I also conducted a two day workshop on caret and the new modeling packages (recipes, rsample, tidyposterior and oth...

Tidy Resampling Redux with Agricultural Economics Data
(No statistical graphs in this one. This is what my dog Artemis looks like when she wants my attention during work hours.) Mindy L. Mallory (@ace_prof) wrote a blog post on Machine Learning and Econometrics: Model Selection and Assessment Statistical Learning Style where she has a great description of the variance-bias tradeoff, resampling, and m...

New Workshop in Washington DC (August)
I’ll be conducting a workshop called “Applied Machine Learning” in Washington DC on August 15 and 16. The last one, at the RStudio conference, sold out quickly. The 2 day course is a blend of caret and the newer tidy modeling pacakges (recipes, rsample, etc): Machine learning is the study and application of algorithms that learn from and...

tidyposterior slides
tidyposterior is an R package for comparing models based on their resampling statistics. There are a few case studies on the webpage to illustrate the process. I gave a talk at the Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) yesterday. A pdf of the slides are here and the animated gif above is here. Related To leave a comment for the author, please f...

Early draft of our “Feature Engineering and Selection” book
Kjell and I are writing another book on predictive modeling, this time focused on all the things that you can do with predictors. It’s about 60% done and we’d love to get feedback. You cna take a look at http://feat.engineering and provide feedback at https://github.com/topepo/FES/issues. The current TOC is: Introduction Illustrative Examp...
