This module focuses on implementing, tuning, and validating Random Forest models for employee attrition prediction. Learners will begin by developing a predictive model using cleaned and preprocessed data. They will then explore techniques to optimize model performance, including parameter tuning and validation methods. Emphasis is placed on understanding how hyperparameters influence model behavior and ensuring robust evaluation using appropriate metrics. By the end of the module, learners will be able to build, fine-tune, and validate a Random Forest model that generalizes well to unseen data.
