Machine Learning With R Cookbook - 110 Recipes for Building Powerful Predictive Models with R: Yu-Wei, Chiu (David Chiu): 9781783982042: Amazon.com: Books

Since books are expensive, I tend to research extensively before deciding on which ones to purchase. For professional reasons, I wanted to branch into machine learning using the R programming language. Based on customer reviews, the Amazon "Look Inside" feature, and online suggestions, I invested in several books: "An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R" (James, Whitten, Hastie and Tibshirani), "Artificial Intelligence, A Modern Approach, Third Edition" (Russell and Norvig), "Machine Learning with R" (Lantz), and "Machine Learning with R Cookbook" (Chiu). With these resources, and with a great YouTube course from the University of British Columbia (Google UBC CPSC 340 Nando YouTube), I set out to learn. Still learning (no overnight success stories here), but the progress is encouraging.
