Learners find the built-in resampling, confusion matrices, and hyperparameter tuning features (via grid search) incredibly efficient for assessing true out-of-sample model performance.

Out-of-the-box functions like confusionMatrix() immediately output everything an analyst needs, including Accuracy, Kappa, Sensitivity, Specificity, and Positive/Negative Predictive Values.
