Reduce data using feature importances

Now that you have created a full random forest model, you will explore feature importance.

Even though random forest models naturally — but implicitly — perform feature selection, it is often advantageous to build a reduced model. A reduced model trains faster, computes predictions faster, and is easier to understand and manage. Of course, it is always a trade-off between model simplicity and model performance.

In this exercise, you will reduce the data set. In the next exercise, you will fit a reduced model and compare its performance to the full model. rf_fit, train, and test are provided for you.

The tidyverse, tidymodels, and vip packages have been loaded for you.
