plot_scatter_residuals

The plot_scatter_residuals() function produces scatter plots relating residuals to predictions, facilitating
identification of heteroscedasticity and non-linear patterns in model errors. This diagnostic plot is essential
for validating regression model assumptions and detecting potential issues with model specification or data quality.

A minimalistic library specifically designed to make the estimation of Machine
Learning (ML) techniques as easy and accessible as possible, particularly within the framework
of the Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD) process in data mining. The package provides
all the essential tools needed to efficiently structure and execute each stage of a predictive
or classification modeling workflow, aligning closely with the fundamental steps of the KDD
methodology, from data selection and preparation, through model building and tuning, to the
interpretation and evaluation of results using Sensitivity Analysis. The 'MLwrap' workflow is
organized into four core steps; preprocessing(), build_model(), fine_tuning(), and
sensitivity_analysis(). These steps correspond, respectively, to data preparation and
transformation, model construction, hyperparameter optimization, and sensitivity analysis.
The user can access comprehensive model evaluation results including fit assessment metrics,
plots, predictions, and performance diagnostics for ML models implemented through Neural Networks,
Random Forest, XGBoost, and Support Vector Machines algorithms. By streamlining these phases,
'MLwrap' aims to simplify the implementation of ML techniques, allowing analysts and data
scientists to focus on extracting actionable insights and meaningful patterns from large datasets,
in line with the objectives of the KDD process. Inspired by James et al. (2021) "An Introduction
