Hi all, I am looking for a good book that covers Machine Learning as a whole and provides examples in R while not over focusing on the math (such as in 'Elements of Statistical Learning') but rather on descriptions and examples. I am relatively new to R and ML and, while solving problems with R, I want to learn the main concepts, techniques and problem categories. Can anybody here recommend good books? Does anybody know a site that lists good books about R? Ralf
Hi Ralf, May be this? http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/MachineLearning.html HTH, Jorge On Sat, May 8, 2010 at 7:41 PM, Ralf B <> wrote:> Hi all, > > I am looking for a good book that covers Machine Learning as a whole > and provides examples in R while not over focusing on the math (such > as in 'Elements of Statistical Learning') but rather on descriptions > and examples.
