Overview of this book

Machine learning is a field of Artificial Intelligence to build systems that learn from data. Given the growing prominence of R—a cross-platform, zero-cost statistical programming environment—there has never been a better time to start applying machine learning to your data. The book starts with introduction to Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining. It takes you through Multivariate Regression in detail. Moving on, you will also address Classification and Regression trees. You will learn a couple of “Unsupervised techniques”. Finally, the book will walk you through text analysis and time series. The book will deliver practical and real-world solutions to problems and variety of tasks such as complex recommendation systems. By the end of this book, you will gain expertise in performing R machine learning and will be able to build complex ML projects using R and its packages.

Summary

In the context of machine learning, we train a model and test it to predict or forecast an outcome. In this chapter, we have had an in-depth look at the simple yet extremely effective method of linear regression to predict a quantitative response. The later chapters will cover more advanced techniques, but many of them are mere extensions of what we have learned in this chapter. We've discussed the problem of not visually inspecting the dataset and simply relying on the statistics to guide you in model selection.

With just a few lines of code, you can make powerful and insightful predictions to support decision-making. Not only is it simple and effective, you can also include quantitative variables and interaction terms among the features. Indeed, it is a method that anyone delving into the world of machine learning must master.
