R Machine Learning By Example: Raghav Bali, Dipanjan Sarkar: 9781784390846: Amazon.com: Books

If things continue at the current pace, half of India's IT professionals will have published a "data science" book with Packt by 2030. I am getting tired of reviewing new entries in this stream of low-quality copycats, written by people whose only qualification is the ability to read a couple of relevant books - if the reader is lucky, not those from Packt - and get some relevant R code, from those books or from R packages' vignettes. My recommendation is "Introduction to statistical learning" by James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani. I am remembering the story with "Learning Data Mining with R" by Makhabel. There were no reviews for months, then I posted mine, two stars.
