Abstract: 

R is a standard tool for predictive modeling. It allows to use hundreds of predictive models and build really complex workflows.

The workshop is a guided tour through the most important R packages. It is illustrated with working R examples. You will learn how to use R for predictive modeling including feature selection, model building, validation, and deployment.

You will learn what is the correct process of predictive models building and how to:

- use R for predictive modeling including feature selection, model building, validation, and deployment
- work with an universal and powerful package `caret`
- a couple of specialized packages like `xgboost` and `caretEnsemble`
- supporting packages like `PMML`
- as a help we will use H2O
