Hi I think caret is one of the best frame work I am using in R And I think I use it most.

But sometimes I couldn't find some model get equipped in it, So I just wondering except for caret, is there any other machine learning frame work I could turn to, if I couldn't find some model I want to use in it ?

I think the author of this famous package may know this best.

Thank you very much.

Hi yuanqingye, see https://topepo.github.io/caret/using-your-own-model-in-train.html

I would stick to caret, and additionally run models outside caret, and take the model objects apart. You can also see qeML which is a much simpler concept. There are also mlr3 and tidymodels, but they did not beat caret last I looked.

Additionally, I would warn against model and algo fascination. There is no holy grail. Just a bunch of toys.

Key is data load efficiency to join many different data sets, cleaning, transformation and other preparation.
