Machine Learning Fundamentals in R

via DataCamp

Overview

Learn the basics of prediction using machine learning. This track covers predicting categorical and numeric responses via classification and regression, and discovering the hidden structure of datasets (unsupervised learning). Learn how to process data for modeling, how to train your models, how to visualize your models and assess their performance, and how to tune their parameters for better performance.
