Overview of this book

R provides excellent visualization features that are essential for exploring data before using it in automated learning. Applied Supervised Learning with R helps you cover the complete process of employing R to develop applications using supervised machine learning algorithms for your business needs. The book starts by helping you develop your analytical thinking to create a problem statement using business inputs and domain research. You will then learn different evaluation metrics that compare various algorithms, and later progress to using these metrics to select the best algorithm for your problem. After finalizing the algorithm you want to use, you will study the hyperparameter optimization technique to fine-tune your set of optimal parameters. The book demonstrates how you can add different regularization terms to avoid overfitting your model. By the end of this book, you will have gained the advanced skills you need for modeling a supervised machine learning algorithm that precisely fulfills your business needs.

Preface

Multivariate Analysis


Multivariate analysis is the process of studying the relationships between more than two variables; essentially, one dependent variable and more than one independent variable. Bivariate analysis is a form of multivariate analysis. There are several forms of multivariate analysis that are important, but we will skip the details for now to restrict the scope of the chapter. In the next few chapters, we will take a closer look at linear and logistic regression, which are two popular multivariate analysis techniques.

Some of the most common techniques used in multivariate analysis are as follows:

  • Multiple linear regression (studying the impact of more than one independent variable on a numeric/continuous target variable)

  • Logistic regression (studying the impact of more than one independent variable on a categorical target variable)

  • Factor analysis

  • MANOVA
