I used gradient descent to estimate linear regression models and, by the end, produce gifs like this, showing how the algorithm learns! Intro This term I’m co-teaching an applied machine learning course in R using the {tidymodels} suite of packages. It’s been a great experience because it’s allowed me to dig into topics more deeply than I have previously, and it’s definitely helped me learn and understand the tidymodels infrastructure better.
