Introduction to Machine Learning in R
Overview:
ThisÌýtutorial aims at providing an accessible introduction to various machine learning methods and applications usingÌýthe programming languageÌýR in RStudio. The core of the course focuses onÌýsupervised learning methodsÌýsuch as regressionÌýand classification with cross-validation.
At the end of the tutorial,Ìýparticipants willÌýbe able to apply what they have learnt, as well as feel confident enough to explore and apply new methods.
