Key benefits

Learn about the statistics behind powerful predictive models with p-value, ANOVA, and F- statistics.

Implement statistical computations programmatically for supervised and unsupervised learning through K-means clustering.

Master the statistical aspect of Machine Learning with the help of this example-rich guide to R and Python.

Description

Complex statistics in machine learning worry a lot of developers. Knowing statistics helps you build strong machine learning models that are optimized for a given problem statement. This book will teach you all it takes to perform the complex statistical computations that are required for machine learning. You will gain information on the statistics behind supervised learning, unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and more. You will see real-world examples that discuss the statistical side of machine learning and familiarize yourself with it. You will come across programs for performing tasks such as modeling, parameter fitting, regression, classification, density collection, working with vectors, matrices, and more. By the end of the book, you will have mastered the statistics required for machine learning and will be able to apply your new skills to any sort of industry problem.

What you will learn

Understand the statistical and machine learning fundamentals necessary to

build models

Understand the major differences and parallels between the statistical way and the machine learning way to solve problems

Learn how to prepare data and feed models by using the appropriate machine learning algorithms from the more-than-adequate R and Python packages

Un ottimo libro per chi vuole approfondire la parte statistica del Machine Learning (molto approfondito) e del Deep Learning (in maniera superficiale) ricco di esempi e di codice in Python e R; adatto per chi è ad una seconda fase di approfondimento delle stesse tematiche.

Just finished this book as a primer for my machine learning course this week. It is an excellent resource, that has both Python and R examples throughout the text. Some examples are only in Python when R has no library or functionality for the example. It is easy to read and a determined student could read it in about 4 hours. The examples used are great at illustrating the different algorithms. Great book and glad I was able to find it this past week before I dive back into the classroom.

I find this book to be incredibly frustrating. It's a good book on the whole, a lot of very good and useful information is presented and the author clearly knows what he's talking about. However, the editing is unbelievably bad. All the figures and even the equations are poor quality, they would not be accepted in a journal so why is this quality of figure ok in a book? The figures are so bad that it's often hard to see what the author is even talking about. The author sometimes mentions the colours in a figure, but all the figures are black and white! The author clearly isn't a native English speaker, this is fine of course, but someone who is really should have corrected this before it was published. There are so many sentences which simply don't make sense. Some of the topics are hard enough to understand without having to decipher what sentences are supposed to say.On the whole, now that I have the book I think it's worth persisting to get the value from it because there's a lot of good stuff in here. But I find it hard to recommend that anyone buy this without these issues being fixed.

Pros:Concise and to the point with panda and R codes.Cons:Needs some more mathematical details for better understanding.
