autoCaret
Why autoCaret?
It’s easy to believe that machine learning is hard!
-
We fundamentally believe that the best ideas and concepts in machine learning are simple but that current literature can put up walls up against these ideas.
-
People should be empowered to use machine learning via simple tools (especially in R)!
-
These tools should allow for a linear path enabling their users to graduate into using the underlying language(s) used to make them
-
There needs to be a focus on an analyst’s understanding about what is happening, said differently: robust explanation/summarization about the modeling process is best
Where does autoCaret fit?
autoCaret slots into the machine learning context right after everyone's favorite first step, data cleaning!

-
