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
