    tidymodels/parsnip

    parsnip is an R package that provides a tidy, unified interface for specifying and fitting statistical and machine‑learning models. It lets you describe a model (type, mode, hyper‑parameters) once and then choose any supported engine (e.g., ranger, spark) to train it, harmonising argument names and simplifying code across different packages.
