Introduction to Machine Learning with R - Rigorous Mathematical Analysis

Machine learning can be a difficult subject if you're not familiar with the basics. With this book, you'll get a solid foundation of introductory principles used in machine learning with the statistical programming language R. You'll start with the basics like regression, then move into more advanced topics like neural networks, and finally delve into the frontier of machine learning in the R world with packages like Caret. By developing a familiarity with topics like understanding the difference between regression and classification models, you'll be able to solve an array of machine learning problems. Knowing when to use a specific model or not can mean the difference between a highly accurate model and a completely useless one. This book provides copious examples to build a working knowledge of machine learning. Understand the major parts of machine learning algorithms Recognize how machine learning can be used to solve a problem in a simple manner Figure out when to use certain machine learning algorithms versus others Learn how to operationalize algorithms with cutting edge packages.

A propos de l'auteur

Scott Burger is a senior data scientist living and working in Seattle. His programming experience comes from the realm of astrophysics, but he uses it in many different types of scenarios ranging from business intelligence to database optimizations. Scott has built a solid career on explaining terse scientific concepts to the general public and wants to use that expertise to shed light on the world of machine learning for the general R user.

Résumé
