 After running this, we can retrieve the best optuna trial and build a model out of it for further fine-tuning with more data, like so:
 
 ```python
-sampled_model = metatune.build_sampled_model(study.best_trial)
+sampled_model = tuner.build_sampled_model(study.best_trial)
 ```
 **NOTE** that the models returned are purely scikit-learn models, thus the reason the regular `fit(...)` and `predict(...)` methods can be called on them.
