Your Turn 2

Create a new parsnip model called rf_mod, which will learn an ensemble of classification trees from our training data using the ranger package. Update your tree_wf with this new model.

Fit your workflow with 10-fold cross-validation and compare the ROC AUC of the random forest to your single decision tree model — which predicts the test set better?

Hint: you’ll need https://www.tidymodels.org/find/parsnip/

Your Turn 3

Challenge: Fit 3 more random forest models, each using 5, 12, and 21 variables at each split. Update your rf_wf with each new model. Which value maximizes the area under the ROC curve?

rf5_mod <- rf_mod |> 
  set_args(mtry = 5) 

rf12_mod <- rf_mod |> 
  set_args(mtry = 12) 

rf21_mod <- rf_mod |> 
  set_args(mtry = 21) 

Do this for each model above:

  update_model(_____)

  fit_resamples(resamples = hotels_folds) |>

Your Turn 4

Edit the random forest model to tune the mtry and min_n hyper-parameters; call the new model spec rf_tuner.

Update your workflow to use the tuned model.

Then use tune_grid() to find the best combination of hyper-parameters to maximize roc_auc; let tune set up the grid for you.

How does it compare to the average ROC AUC across folds from fit_resamples()?

rf_mod <- rand_forest(engine = "ranger") |> 
  set_mode("classification")

rf_wf <- workflow() |> 
  add_formula(children ~ .) |> 
  add_model(rf_mod)

set.seed(100) # Important!
rf_results <- rf_wf |> 
  fit_resamples(resamples = hotels_folds,
                metrics = metric_set(roc_auc),
                # change me to control_grid() with tune_grid
                control = control_resamples(save_workflow = TRUE))

Answer:

rf_tuner <- rand_forest(
    engine = "ranger",
    mtry = tune(),
    min_n = tune()
  ) |>
  set_mode("classification")

rf_wf <- rf_wf |>

i Creating pre-processing data to finalize unknown parameter: mtry

Your Turn 5

Use fit_best() to take the best combination of hyper-parameters from rf_results and use them to predict the test set.

How does our actual test ROC AUC compare to our cross-validated estimate?

hotels_best <- fit_best(rf_results)

# cross validated ROC AUC
rf_results |>
  show_best(metric = "roc_auc", n = 5)
