Overview
Learn how to set up various prediction endpoints using vetiver for a model predicting Bigfoot sightings in this 29-minute screencast. Explore the process of feature engineering, natural language processing, and logistic regression as you analyze #TidyTuesday Bigfoot sighting data. Discover techniques for tuning, evaluating model performance through confusion matrices, and assessing variable importance. Gain practical insights into deploying the model and making predictions, with accompanying code available on the presenter's blog for further study and implementation.
