Book Description
Solve real-world data problems with R and machine learning
Machine learning,at its core,is concerned with transforming data into actionable knowledge. R offers a powerful set of machine learning methods to quickly and easily gain insight from your data.
Machine Learning with R,Third Edition provides a hands-on,readable guide to applying machine learning to real-world problems. Whether you are an experienced R user or new to the language,Brett Lantz teaches you everything you need to uncover key insights,make new predictions,and visualize your findings.
This new 3rd edition updates the classic R data science book to R 3.6 with newer and better libraries,advice on ethical and bias issues in machine learning,and an introduction to deep learning. Find powerful new insights in your data; discover machine learning with R.
