Mastering Machine Learning with R, Second Edition - Second Edition

Overview of this book

This book will teach you advanced techniques in machine learning with the latest code in R 3.3.2. You will delve into statistical learning theory and supervised learning; design efficient algorithms; learn about creating Recommendation Engines; use multi-class classification and deep learning; and more. You will explore, in depth, topics such as data mining, classification, clustering, regression, predictive modeling, anomaly detection, boosted trees with XGBOOST, and more. More than just knowing the outcome, you’ll understand how these concepts work and what they do. With a slow learning curve on topics such as neural networks, you will explore deep learning, and more. By the end of this book, you will be able to perform machine learning with R in the cloud using AWS in various scenarios with different datasets.

Summary


In this final chapter, we went through the process of quickly and simply getting R and RStudio running on the cloud. Utilizing AWS in this exercise, we covered step by step how to create a virtual machine (an instance) on the cloud, configure it, launch it and bring up RStudio on a web browser. Finally, we went over how easy it is to load data, by bringing in the climate .csv file from GitHub. With this introduction to cloud computing, you can now perform work anywhere you have an Internet connection, and can quickly scale the power of your instance to meet your needs. That concludes the primary chapters of the book. I hope you've enjoyed it and can implement the methods in here as well as other methods you learn over time. Thank You!
