Fitting and assessing the model

Now that you have addressed missing values and created dummy variables, it is time to assess your model's performance!

The attritiondataset, along with the testand train splits, the lr_recipe and your declared logistic_model() are all loaded for you.

Hands-on interactive exercise

Have a go at this exercise by completing this sample code.

# Bundle model and recipe in workflow
lr_workflow <- ___() %>%
  add_model(lr_model) %>%
  add_recipe(lr_recipe)

# Fit workflow to the train data
lr_fit <- ___(lr_workflow, data = train)

# Generate an augmented data frame for performance assessment
lr_aug <- lr_fit %>% ___(test)

lr_aug %>% roc_curve(truth = Attrition, .pred_No) %>% autoplot()
bind_rows(lr_aug %>% roc_auc(truth = Attrition, .pred_No),          
          lr_aug %>% accuracy(truth = Attrition, .pred_class))

You’ll wrap up the course by learning about feature engineering and machine learning techniques. You’ll begin by focusing on the problems associated with using all available features in a model and the importance of identifying irrelevant and redundant features and learning to remove these features using embedded methods such as lasso and elastic-net. Next, you’ll explore shrinkage methods such as lasso, ridge, and elastic-net, which can be used to regularize feature weights or select features by setting coefficients to zero. Finally, you’ll finish by focusing on creating an end-to-end feature engineering workflow and reviewing and practicing the previously learned concepts and functions in a small project.
