Just Enough R!: An Interactive Approach to Machine Learning and Analytics (1st edition)

Just Enough R! An Interactive Approach to Machine Learning and Analytics presents just enough of the R language, machine learning algorithms, statistical methodology, and analytics for the reader to learn how to find interesting structure in data. The approach might be called "seeing then doing" as it first gives step-by-step explanations using simple, understandable examples of how the various machine learning algorithms work independent of any programming language. This is followed by detailed scripts written in R that apply the algorithms to solve nontrivial problems with real data. The script code is provided, allowing the reader to execute the scripts as they study the explanations given in the text.

• Includes end-of-chapter exercises, many of which can be solved by modifying existing scripts
• Includes datasets from several areas, including business, health and medicine, and science
