R Machine Learning with tidymodels: Part 1 of 2

Online via Zoom

This two-part workshop provides an introduction to machine learning algorithms using the tidymodels package. It covers what machine learning is, which problems it is most and least equipped to address, and explores the tidymodels framework to fit supervised machine learning models in R. Addressing machine learning problems requires a deep conceptual understanding of the material. While the workshop will cover coding in R, it will also dedicate a significant portion of the time to motivating machine learning techniques. By the end of the workshop, learners should feel prepared to explore machine learning approaches for their own data problems. This workshop does not cover unsupervised machine learning techniques.
