In the previous tutorial series, we walked through the "caret" package in R for machine learning. We used the raw "GermanCredit" dataset, performed a brief exploration of it, and used the package to walk through a variety of steps: pre-processing, removing low information features, tuning hyperparameters, correcting for class imbalance, and summarizing results based on metrics we deem important. Where possible, we will perform the exact same exercise here, except we will use the "tidymodels" suite of packages to do so.
