Multinomial classification with tidymodels and #TidyTuesday volcano eruptions

Lately I’ve been publishing screencasts demonstrating how to use the tidymodels framework, from first steps in modeling to how to evaluate complex models. Today’s screencast demonstrates how to implement multiclass or multinomial classification using with this week’s #TidyTuesday dataset on volcanoes. 🌋 Here is the code I used in the video, for those who prefer reading instead of or in addition to video. Explore the data Our modeling goal is to predict the type of volcano from this week’s #TidyTuesday dataset based on other volcano characteristics like latitude, longitude, tectonic setting, etc.

Sentiment analysis with tidymodels and #TidyTuesday Animal Crossing reviews

A lot has been happening in the tidymodels ecosystem lately! There are many possible projects we on the tidymodels team could focus on next; we are interested in gathering community feedback to inform our priorities. If you are interested in sharing your opinion on next steps in tidymodels development, please take this short survey. Lately I’ve been publishing screencasts demonstrating how to use the tidymodels framework, from first steps in modeling to how to tune more complex models.

Modeling #TidyTuesday GDPR violations with tidymodels

This is an exciting week for us on the tidymodels team; we launched tidymodels.org, a new central location with resources and documentation for tidymodels packages. There is a TON to explore and learn there! 🚀 You can check out the official blog post for more details. Today, I’m publishing here on my blog another screencast demonstrating how to use tidymodels. This is a good video for folks getting started with tidymodels, using this week’s #TidyTuesday dataset on GDPR violations.

PCA and the #TidyTuesday best hip hop songs ever

Lately I’ve been publishing screencasts demonstrating how to use the tidymodels framework, from first steps in modeling to how to tune more complex models. Today, I’m exploring a different part of the tidymodels framework; I’m showing how to implement principal component analysis via recipes with this week’s #TidyTuesday dataset on the best hip hop songs of all time as determinded by a BBC poll of music critics. Here is the code I used in the video, for those who prefer reading instead of or in addition to video.

Bootstrap resampling with #TidyTuesday beer production data

I’ve been publishing screencasts demonstrating how to use the tidymodels framework, from first steps in modeling to how to tune more complex models. Today, I’m using this week’s #TidyTuesday dataset on beer production to show how to use bootstrap resampling to estimate model parameters. Here is the code I used in the video, for those who prefer reading instead of or in addition to video.
