Description
Machine Learning Using R aims to make ML concepts and model development using R simpler for students and practitioners. This book covers the theoretical concepts behind ML algorithms and illustrates use of R for developing ML models using datasets from customer relationship management, healthcare, finance, human resource management, social media, and sports. The book discusses challenges and remedies in building machine learning models using several real-life cases which the authors have worked upon as a part of consulting engagements.
