1. Wrap-up
Congratulations on all that you have accomplished. By taking this course, you mastered many foundations of machine learning in general and tree-based models in particular.
2. 1. Data splitting - confusion matrix - accuracy
In Chapter 1, you learned about basic techniques of machine learning like data splitting and how to use tidymodels to build and evaluate basic classification trees using the confusion matrix and the accuracy metric.
3. 2. Regression - cross-validation - bias-variance tradeoff
In Chapter 2, you extended this knowledge to build and evaluate regression trees, apply cross-validation for more robust evaluation, and how to detect and solve bias or variance issues.
4. 3. Tuning - AUC - bagging - random forest
In Chapter 3, you learned how to use the tidymodels framework to tune hyperparameters of tree models, and extended your knowledge of classification evaluation to sensitivity, specificity, ROC curves and area under the curve. You also learned how to build bagged tree models and random forests.
5. 4. Boosting & model comparison
In Chapter 4, you learned about boosting, how to build an optimal gradient boosting ensemble model, and how to compare different models to see which one performs best.
6. Thank you!
