Book Description

Use R and tidyverse to prepare, clean, import, visualize, transform, program, communicate, predict and model data

No R experience is required, although prior exposure to statistics and programming is helpful

Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free eBook in PDF format.

Key Features

  • Get to grips with the tidyverse, challenging data, and big data
  • Create clear and concise data and model visualizations that effectively communicate results to stakeholders
  • Solve a variety of problems using regression, ensemble methods, clustering, deep learning, probabilistic models, and more

Book Description

Dive into R with this data science guide on machine learning (ML). Machine Learning with R, Fourth Edition, takes you through classification methods like nearest neighbor and Naive Bayes and regression modeling, from simple linear to logistic.

Dive into practical deep learning with neural networks and support vector machines and unearth valuable insights from complex data sets with market basket analysis. Learn how to unlock hidden patterns within your data using k-means clustering.

With three new chapters on data, you’ll hone your skills in advanced data preparation, mastering feature engineering, and tackling challenging data scenarios. This book helps you conquer high-dimensionality, sparsity, and imbalanced data with confidence. Navigate the complexities of big data with ease, harnessing the power of parallel computing and leveraging GPU resources for faster insights.

Elevate your understanding of model performance evaluation, moving beyond accuracy metrics. With a new chapter on building better learners, you’ll pick up techniques that top teams use to improve model performance with ensemble methods and innovative model stacking and blending techniques.

Machine Learning with R, Fourth Edition, equips you with the tools and knowledge to tackle even the most formidable data challenges. Unlock the full potential of machine learning and become a true master of the craft.

What you will learn

  • Learn the end-to-end process of machine learning from raw data to implementation
  • Classify important outcomes using nearest neighbor and Bayesian methods
  • Predict future events using decision trees, rules, and support vector machines
  • Forecast numeric data and estimate financial values using regression methods
  • Model complex processes with artificial neural networks
  • Prepare, transform, and clean data using the tidyverse
  • Evaluate your models and improve their performance
  • Connect R to SQL databases and emerging big data technologies such as Spark, Hadoop, H2O, and TensorFlow

Who this book is for

This book is designed to help data scientists, actuaries, data analysts, financial analysts, social scientists, business and machine learning students, and any other practitioners who want a clear, accessible guide to machine learning with R. No R experience is required, although prior exposure to statistics and programming is helpful.

Review

“This book is great value. I’d pay $100 for it, even though I already have a well-worn 3rd edition. It maintains the same standard of excellence as previous editions. Simple yet compelling examples [along with] deeper dives on topics like lift, model tuning, [and] feature engineering. Ideal for entry-level and mid-level data analysts and scientists who want to build solid competencies. This 700+ page reference will surely find its permanent home in a prominent position on your desk.”

Nicole Radziwill, Chief Data Scientist, Ultranauts Inc, Author, Statistics (the Easier Way) with R


“The new edition of the best book on machine learning with R is out! Over 700 pages with everything you need to know for building and improving machine learning models!”

Prof. Dr. H. v. Jouanne-Diedrich, Creator of OneR Package, blogger, Learning Machines (blog.ephorie.de)

About the Author

Brett Lantz (DataSpelunking) has spent more than 10 years using innovative data methods to understand human behavior. A sociologist by training, Brett was first captivated by machine learning during research on a large database of teenagers’ social network profiles. Brett is a DataCamp instructor and a frequent speaker at machine learning conferences and workshops around the world. He is known to geek out about data science applications for sports, autonomous vehicles, foreign language learning, and fashion, among many other subjects, and hopes to one day blog about these subjects at Data Spelunking, a website dedicated to sharing knowledge about the search for insight in data.
