Episode notes
Start with the Docs
- Always start by reading the documentation for your chosen machine learning model/package.
- Understand the hyperparameters by looking at their explanations and searching online if needed.
Tuning for Generalization
- Tuning hyperparameters like maximum depth and minimum samples per leaf lets you control model sensitivity to rare events.
- Analyze your data during EDA to understand feature interactions and potential split conditions.
Key Random Forest Hyperparameters
- When tuning Random Forests, prioritize the number of trees and max depth.
- These parameters greatly influence model stability and the bias-variance trade-off.
