Goal: Discover optimal hyperparameters for Random Forest & XGBoost to maximize credit score prediction accuracy.
\n", "Building on feature engineering from Phase 3, we'll validate that complex features require non-linear models and discover optimal configurations for production deployment.
\n", "\n", "
Phase 4 has successfully identified the optimal credit score classification model through systematic hyperparameter tuning and ensemble methods.
