Hands-on machine learning guidance without math overload

This is a great pick if you want predictive modeling to feel practical rather than abstract. Readers often like how it walks through the full workflow, from preprocessing to tuning, with real examples and plenty of R code that makes the ideas easier to apply. It feels especially useful for analysts, students, or practitioners who want a book they can actually keep returning to while building models.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Applied Predictive Modeling covers the overall predictive modeling process, beginning with data preprocessing, data splitting, and the foundations of model tuning. It provides intuitive explanations of common and modern regression and classification techniques, with an emphasis on solving real data problems. The text illustrates all parts of the modeling process through hands-on, real-life examples, and each chapter contains extensive R code for each step. This multi-purpose resource can be used as an introduction to predictive modeling, a practitioner’s reference handbook, or a text for advanced undergraduate or graduate-level predictive modeling courses. Each chapter includes problem sets to help solidify the covered concepts and uses data available in the book’s R package. This book is intended for a broad audience as both an introduction to predictive models and a guide to applying them. Non-mathematical readers will appreciate the intuitive explanations, while the emphasis on problem-solving with real data across a wide variety of applications will aid practitioners who wish to extend their expertise. Readers should have knowledge of basic statistical ideas, such as correlation and linear regression analysis. While the text is biased against complex equations, a mathematical background is needed for advanced topics.
