is this a real package? #3

hello,

I just wonder: is this a real package? Like juliasilge with a 50% bot probability seems a pretty bad prediction right? Am I missing something?

Thanks!

It is! But it's in early development.

The original model was trained on real data and performed well on test data. But the features were limited to user-level data (not tweet-level). I've made several changes since, and the current README estimates come from a model I was in the middle of troubleshooting. I'll try to get this on CRAN in the next couple of weeks. And when that happens, the package will be a lot more stable.
