Title: Machine Learning workflow with tidymodels in R

Date: Thursday, July 27th, 18:00 – 20:00 CEST (Rome, Berlin, Paris timezone)

Speaker: Kelly Bodwin is an Associate Professor of Statistics and Data Science at California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo). She received a BS in Statistics from Harvard University followed by a PhD in Statistics and Operations Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.  Her current research focus is software development of tools for education and for unsupervised machine learning.  Kelly also works on collaborative data science projects in the biological sciences, social sciences, agriculture, and the humanities.  She teaches upper- and lower-division courses in statistics and data science, usually with a focus on computing and/or predictive modeling and machine learning.

Description: This workshop will give a first introduction to the {tidymodels} packages and framework.  If you’ve been wondering what the buzz is about, but you haven’t found the time to take your first steps on your own, this workshop is for you!  We’ll mainly focus on the core workflow of a {tidymodels} analysis, using a few simple models as examples.  Then we’ll practice automatic cross-validation, tuning, and model selection using {tidymodels} shortcuts, through a real data example.  Attendees are expected to have a basic working knowledge of R and tidyverse syntax; as well as a basic understanding of predictive modeling, e.g. linear regression and decision trees.

Minimal registration fee: 20 euro (or 20 USD or 800 UAH)
