Caret R Package for Applied Predictive Modeling
Last Updated on August 22, 2019
The R platform for statistical computing is perhaps the most popular and powerful platform for applied machine learning.
The caret package in R has been called “R’s competitive advantage“. It makes the process of training, tuning and evaluating machine learning models in R consistent, easy and even fun.
In this post you will discover the caret package in R, it’s key features and where to go to learn more about it.
Kick-start your project with my new book Machine Learning Mastery With R, including step-by-step tutorials and the R source code files for all examples.
Let’s get started.

What is the Caret R Package
Caret was built on a key philosophy in machine learning, that of the no free lunch theorem. The theorem states, that given no prior knowledge of prediction problem, no single method can be said to be better than any other.
In this face of this theorem, the caret package has an opinionated stance on how applied
