Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning with R

This book teaches you, based on the open-source programming language R, how to read, process, and analyze data from various formats and sources, and how to use Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in your company. It specifically explains the three types of Machine Learning and selected, widely-used algorithms that form the basis of Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, the author provides you with the datasets used through his R package "machinelearning," so you can run the code examples presented in the book yourself. The package also includes interactive self-learning tutorials for R.
