Super interesting video - thanks Andrew

Thanks Greg!

Very nice. I have been testing the mlr package for modeling - it is a lot more complex than tidymodels but might be more powerful.

So under the hood, is some numerical method like gradient decent used to find the MLE of the parameters of the model?

[@EquitableEquations]

I'm sure you're right, though I haven't researched exactly how R implements the numerical optimization.

[@pipertripp]

Yeah, just a guess on my part. Been studying MLE in general lately, but so far only closed form stuff like the binomial and Poisson distributions. Just trying to get a handle on how the technique works.
