Machine Learning with R Quick Start Guide

By: Iván Pastor Sanz

Overview of this book

Machine Learning with R Quick Start Guide takes you on a data-driven journey that starts with the very basics of R and machine learning. It gradually builds upon core concepts so you can handle the varied complexities of data and understand each stage of the machine learning pipeline. From data collection to implementing Natural Language Processing (NLP), this book covers it all. You will implement key machine learning algorithms to understand how they are used to build smart models. You will cover tasks such as clustering, logistic regressions, random forests, support vector machines, and more. Furthermore, you will also look at more advanced aspects such as training neural networks and topic modeling. By the end of the book, you will be able to apply the concepts of machine learning, deal with data-related problems, and solve them using the powerful yet simple language that is R.

Summary

In this chapter, we introduced the economic crisis that's experienced by different European countries. We obtained the data and analyzed it. Then, we developed a visual tool to compare the countries using different variables at the same time.

In the next chapter, we will try to create a rating model. We will assign different scores to countries according to their economic situations. Let's see if we are able to predict the ratings of different countries!
