An overview of classification

Linear regression models present response variables that are quantitative in nature. However, certain responses are qualitative in nature. Responses such as attitudes (strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree, and strongly agree) are qualitative in nature. Predicting a qualitative response for an observation can be referred to as classifying that observation, since it involves assigning the observation to a category or class. Classifiers are an invaluable tool for many tasks today, such as medical or genomics predictions, spam detection, face recognition, and finance.

Regression Analysis with R

Regression Analysis with R

Regression analysis is a statistical process which enables prediction of relationships between variables. This book will give you a rundown explaining what regression analysis is, explaining you the process from scratch. Each chapter starts with explaining the theoretical concepts and once the reader gets comfortable with the theory, we move to the practical examples to support the understanding. By the end of this book you will know all the concepts and pain-points related to regression analysis, and you will be able to implement your learning in your projects.

Machine Learning with R Cookbook

Machine Learning with R Cookbook

The R language is a powerful open source functional programming language. At its core, R is a statistical language that provides impressive tools to analyze data and create high-level graphics. This book covers the basics of R by setting up a user-friendly programming environment and programming ETL in R. Data exploration examples are provided that demonstrate how powerful data visualisation and machine learning is in discovering hidden relationships. You will also explore air quality data, steps to fix the missing values and visualising the same. You will then dive into important machine learning topics, including data classification, regression, survival analysis, time series analysis, clustering association rule mining, and dimension reduction.This book will include the latest code and examples based on R 3.3 and above—updated for better computation, accuracy, and speed with R.
