Abstract
The caret package, short for classification and regression training, contains numerous tools for developing predictive models using the rich set of models available in R. The package focuses on simplifying model training and tuning across a wide variety of modeling techniques. It also includes methods for pre-processing training data, calculating variable importance, and model visualizations. An example from computational chemistry is used to illustrate the functionality on a real data set and to benchmark the benefits of parallel processing with several types of models.

Disentangling the Effects of Monounsaturated Fatty Acids from Other Components of a Mediterranean Diet on Serum Metabolite Profiles: A Randomized Fully Controlled Dietary Intervention in Healthy Subjects at Risk of the Metabolic Syndrome.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the MUFA component is responsible for reducing LDL subclasses and fractions, and therefore causes an antiatherogenic lipid profile, and Interestingly, consumption of the other components in the MED diet show additional health effects.

Multi-step ahead meningitis case forecasting based on decomposition and multi-objective optimization methods.

TL;DR: A hybrid learning framework is developed to forecast multi-step-ahead meningitis cases in four states of Brazil and showed that combining EEMD, heterogeneous ensemble and WI with weights obtained by optimization can develop precise and stable forecasts.

How to Address the Data Quality Issues in Regression Models: A Guided Process for Data Cleaning

TL;DR: A process for data cleaning in regression models (DC-RM), where the dataset that is cleaned was used to train the same regression models proposed by the authors of UCI datasets and the results achieved are better than or equal to that presented by the datasets’ authors.

Modern Applied Statistics with S

TL;DR: A guide to using S environments to perform statistical analyses providing both an introduction to the use of S and a course in modern statistical methods.

Classification and Regression by randomForest

TL;DR: random forests are proposed, which add an additional layer of randomness to bagging and are robust against overfitting, and the randomForest package provides an R interface to the Fortran programs by Breiman and Cutler.

Validity of the single processor approach to achieving large scale computing capabilities

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the organization of a single computer has reached its limits and that truly significant advances can be made only by interconnection of a multiplicity of computers in such a manner as to permit cooperative solution.
