Book Description
By finelybook
The versatile capabilities and large set of add-on packages make R an excellent alternative to many existing and often expensive data mining tools. Exploring this area from the perspective of a practitioner,Data Mining with R: Learning with Case Studies uses practical examples to illustrate the power of R and data mining.
Assuming no prior knowledge of R or data mining/statistical techniques,the book covers a diverse set of problems that pose different challenges in terms of size,type of data,goals of analysis,and analytical tools. To present the main data mining processes and techniques,the author takes a hands-on approach that utilizes a series of detailed,real-world case studies:
Predicting algae blooms
Predicting stock market returns
Detecting fraudulent transactions
Classifying microarray samples
With these case studies,the author supplies all necessary steps,code,and data.
Web Resource
A supporting website mirrors the do-it-yourself approach of the text. It offers a collection of freely available R source files that encompass all the code used in the case studies. The site also provides the data sets from the case studies as well as an R package of several functions.
