TensorFlow estimators and the TensorFlow runs packages are great packages to use for deep learning. In this section, we will use both to train a model based on our churn prediction data from Chapter 4, Training Deep Prediction Models.
TensorFlow estimators and TensorFlow runs packages
TensorFlow estimators
TensorFlow estimators allow you to build TensorFlow models using a simpler API interface. In R, the tfestimators package allows you to call this API. There are different model types, including linear models and neural networks. The following estimators are available:
- linear_regressor() for linear regression
- linear_classifier() for linear classification
- dnn_regressor() for deep neural network regression
- dnn_classifier()...
