The model_tuner library is a versatile and powerful tool designed to facilitate the training, evaluation, and tuning of machine learning models. It supports various functionalities such as handling imbalanced data, applying different scaling and imputation techniques, calibrating models, and conducting cross-validation. This library is particularly useful for model selection, hyperparameter tuning, and ensuring optimal performance across different metrics.
