R Data Analytics Projects [Video]

By: Dipanjan Sarkar, Raghav Bali

Overview of this book

<p>With powerful features and packages, R empowers users to build sophisticated machine learning systems to solve real-world data problems.</p> <p>This video course takes you on a data-driven journey that starts with the very basics of R and machine learning. You will then work on three different projects to apply the concepts of machine learning. Each project will help you to understand, explore, visualize, and derive domain- and algorithm-based insights.</p> <p>By the end of this course, you will have learned to apply the concepts of machine learning to data-related problems and solve them with help of R.</p> <p>All the code and supporting files for this course are available on Github at<br /><a style="color: #fa8d11;" href="https://github.com/PacktPublishing/R-Data-Analytics-Projects" target="blank">https://github.com/PacktPublishing/R-Data-Analytics-Projects</a></p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>The course is an enticing journey that starts from the very basics and gradually picks up the pace as it unfolds. Each topic is explained with the help of a project that solves a real-world problem hands-on, thus giving you a deep insight into the world of machine learning.</p>

Modeling Using Support Vector Machines
Support vector machines belong to the family of supervised machine learning algorithms used for both classification and regression. The samples on the margins are typically called the support vectors. The middle of the margin which separates the two classes is called the optimal separating hyperplane. - Build the SVM model using the training data and the RBF kernel on all the training set features - Use testing data on model to make predictions and evaluate the results - Build a new SVM model based on the top five features
