Preface I think R is an amazing platform for machine learning. There are so many algorithms and so much power sit there ready to use. I am often asked the question: How do you use R for machine learning? This book is my definitive answer to that question. It contains my very best knowledge and ideas on how to work through predictive modeling machine learning projects using the R platform. It is the book that I am also going to use as a refresher at the start of a new project. I’m really proud of this book and I hope that you fin d it a useful companion on your machine learning journey with R. d it a useful companion on your machine learning journey with R.
