Tidy Modelling with R

R is already a great tool for data wrangling, analysis and visualisation. However, when it comes to building and evaluating models, it can be a bit cumbersome. Different packages have different syntax and conventions, which makes it difficult to switch between them. The tidymodels package aims to solve this problem by providing a consistent and easy-to-use interface for building and evaluating models.

The tidymodels package is a collection of packages that work together to make the process of building and evaluating models easier and more consistent. It works excellently as an extension to tidyverse by using the same methodology and syntax. In this chapter, the principles of the tidymodels package is introduced as well as how to create, evaluate, and tune many models at a time.
