Imagine our “target” bike weighs 8 pounds, has 10 gears, with a rim thickness of 620 milimeters. The weight of bikes is usually rated in kilograms, and the rim thickness in millimeters 2 2 or an archiaic “C” gauge, which we won’t deal with here. For example, imagine we are trying to predict the price of a bike. Sometimes, models will be sensitive to whether the data is “scaled.” For example, thinking about a \(k\)-nearest neighbor methods, what observations are going to be considered “near” a given point will depend on the magnitude of the \(X\) variables. Geom_point(aes(y=r0), color='darkblue', alpha=.1) + G2 = spotify %>% mutate(r0 = residuals(m0), Geom_point(aes(y=r1), color='darkred', alpha=.1) + And, we can see that the bias in predictions, too the Linear model really under-predicts danceablity for slow songs, while the generalized additive model g1 = spotify %>% mutate(r0 = residuals(m0), First, thinking about the standard linear model: mean(residuals(m0)^2) # 0.02033582Īnd second, about our smooth model: mean(residuals(m1)^2) # 0.01886446 When it comes to choosing between the two models, we can use the mean squared error, which is the average squared error of the two models. Ggplot(data=., aes(x=tempo, y=danceability)) + ) in data=., I’m saying “stick the output of the pipe right at the stop!” spotify %>%

#CARET MODELS FULL#
Plotting these ourselves: 1 1 Remember, when I use the full stop (. Then, we can use the predict() function to get each of the models’ predictions: p0 = predict(m0, scenario) Library(knitr) spotify % head(10) %>% kable() tempo

Today, we’ll cover a little bit of using the caret package for model training.
