R: Predictive Analysis

Chapter 14. Cross-validation and Bootstrapping Using Caret and Exporting Predictive Models Using PMML

In Chapter 12, Multilevel Analyses, we examined how to fit and predict nested data using multilevel analyses. In the previous chapter, we discussed text mining in R. In this chapter, we will discover how to perform cross-validation and bootstrapping using the caret package and how to export models using Predictive Model Markup Language (PMML).

Cross-validation and bootstrapping of predictive models using the caret package

In this section, we will discuss how to examine the reliability of a model with cross-validation. We start by discussing what cross-validation is.

Cross-validation

You might remember that, in several chapters, we used half of the ...
