demo of R package caret #75

Closed justmarkham closed 10 years ago

justmarkham commented 10 years ago

I am not yet a master of caret (I just started using it recently), but basically it provides a common interface for accessing 100+ models: http://caret.r-forge.r-project.org/index.html http://caret.r-forge.r-project.org/modelList.html

In other words, it gives you a common interface for different models, kinda like how sklearn does it. Plus it has a ton of useful functions related to modeling.

Not sure where this might fit in the course, but it might be worth finding a place.

@justmarkham do you want to add something for this, or should we close it?

justmarkham commented 10 years ago

I'll close it, though if I end up having time to put together something worthwhile for class about caret, I'll reopen the issue and we can decide.
