Behavior Analysis with Machine Learning and R: The free eBook - KDnuggets

Automatic behavior monitoring technologies are becoming part of our everyday lives thanks to advances in sensors and machine learning. The automatic analysis and understanding of behavior are being applied to solve problems in several fields, including health care, sports, marketing, ecology, security, and psychology, to name a few. Behavior Analysis with Machine Learning and R aims to provide an introduction to machine learning concepts and algorithms applied to a diverse set of behavior analysis problems. It focuses on the practical aspects of solving such problems based on data collected from sensors or stored in databases. The book covers topics within the entire data analysis pipeline--from data collection, visualization, preprocessing, and encoding to model training and evaluation. No prior knowledge in machine learning is assumed.
