Description

Discovering knowledge from big multivariate data, recorded every days, requires specialized
machine learning techniques.

This book presents an easy to use practical guide in R to compute the most popular machine
learning methods for exploring real word data sets, as well as, for building predictive models.

The main parts of the book include:

A) Unsupervised learning methods, to explore and discover knowledge from a large


multivariate data set using clustering and principal component methods. You will learn
hierarchical clustering, k-means, principal component analysis and correspondence analysis
methods.
B) Regression analysis, to predict a quantitative outcome value using linear regression and
non-linear regression strategies.
C) Classification techniques, to predict a qualitative outcome value using logistic regression,
discriminant analysis, naive bayes classifier and support vector machines.
D) Advanced machine learning methods, to build robust regression and classification models
using k-nearest neighbors methods, decision tree models, ensemble methods (bagging, random
forest and boosting).
E) Model selection methods, to select automatically the best combination of predictor variables
for building an optimal predictive model. These include, best subsets selection methods,
stepwise regression and penalized regression (ridge, lasso and elastic net regression models).
We also present principal component-based regression methods, which are useful when the data
contain multiple correlated predictor variables.
