• feed-forward neural networks and multinomial regression
• random forests
• boosting for classification and regression
• bagging for classification and regression
• penalized regression modelling (lasso/ridge regularized generalized linear models)
• model based recursive partitioning (trees with statistical models at the nodes)
• training and evaluation will be done through the use of the caret and ROCR packages
Course duration: 2 days.
