1 Modelling with {tidymodels}
1.0.1 tidymodels
The tidymodels framework in R is a collection of packages designed for modeling and machine learning, all sharing the tidyverse design philosophy. Here are some of the core packages:
rsample: Provides infrastructure for efficient data splitting and resampling. parsnip: Offers a unified interface to various models, simplifying the process of trying different models. recipes: Facilitates data pre-processing and feature engineering. workflows: Bundles pre-processing, modeling, and post-processing steps together. tune: Helps optimize hyperparameters for models and pre-processing steps. yardstick: Measures model performance using various metrics. broom: Converts statistical analysis results into tidy data frames. dials: Manages tuning parameters and parameter grids.
1.0.2 Other tidymodels R packages
There are also specialized packages for more specific tasks, such as infer for statistical inference, spatialsample for spatial data resampling, and textrecipes for text data processing12.
Do you have a specific modeling task in mind? Maybe I can help you get started!
1.1 parsnip
The parsnip package in R provides a tidy, unified interface for creating predictive models. It aims to simplify model fitting by standardizing the interface across different modeling functions from various packages. With parsnip, you can try a range of models without getting bogged down in the syntactical minutiae of underlying packages12.
If you’re interested, you can install it using the following commands:
# Install all of tidymodels (includes parsnip):
install.packages("tidymodels")
# Alternatively, install just parsnip:
install.packages("parsnip")
Give it a try, and explore the consistent syntax for fitting models! 😊📊🔍

The parsnip package in R allows you to fit a variety of common models. Here are some examples:
Linear Regression:
Use linear_reg() to fit a linear regression model. Logistic Regression:
Fit binary or multinomial logistic regression using logistic_reg(). Random Forest:
Create a random forest model with rand_forest(). Support Vector Machine (SVM):
Use svm_rbf() for radial basis function SVMs. Gradient Boosting:
Fit gradient boosting models with boost_tree(). K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN):
Use nearest_neighbor() for KNN classification or regression. Remember, each of these models has its own hyperparameters that you can customize. Feel free to explore and experiment! 🌟📊
Certainly! The rand_forest() function in the parsnip package defines a model that creates a large number of decision trees, each independent of the others. The final prediction combines all individual tree predictions. You can use it for classification, regression, or censored regression models1. Here’s an example of fitting a random forest for classification:
library(parsnip)
4 Create a random forest model with 2000 trees
rf_model <- rand_forest(mode = “classification”, trees = 2000)
5 Print the model specification
rf_model Feel free to adjust the parameters (like the number of trees) based on your specific use case! 🌳📊
Certainly! When evaluating the performance of a random forest model, you can consider several metrics. Here are some common ones:
Mean Absolute Error (MAE):
Measures the average absolute difference between predicted and actual values. Lower MAE indicates better performance. Mean Squared Error (MSE):
Calculates the average squared difference between predicted and actual values. Useful for understanding the magnitude of errors. Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE):
The square root of MSE. Provides a more interpretable measure of error. Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE):
Computes the average percentage difference between predicted and actual values. Useful for understanding relative errors. Remember to use cross-validation to assess the model’s robustness. Feel free to apply these metrics to evaluate your random forest! 🌳📊12
