Overview of this book

R is one of the most popular languages when it comes to performing computational statistics (statistical computing) easily and exploring the mathematical side of machine learning. With this book, you will leverage the R ecosystem to build efficient machine learning applications that carry out intelligent tasks within your organization. This book will help you test your knowledge and skills, guiding you on how to build easily through to complex machine learning projects. You will first learn how to build powerful machine learning models with ensembles to predict employee attrition. Next, you’ll implement a joke recommendation engine and learn how to perform sentiment analysis on Amazon reviews. You’ll also explore different clustering techniques to segment customers using wholesale data. In addition to this, the book will get you acquainted with credit card fraud detection using autoencoders, and reinforcement learning to make predictions and win on a casino slot machine. By the end of the book, you will be equipped to confidently perform complex tasks to build research and commercial projects for automated operations.

The Road Ahead

To get the most out of this book

The projects covered in this book are intended to expose you to practical knowledge on the implementation of various ML techniques to real-world problems. It is expected that you have a good working knowledge of R and some basic understanding of ML. Basic knowledge of ML and R is a must prior to starting this project.

It should also be noted that the code for the projects is implemented using R version 3.5.2 (2018-12-20), nicknamed Eggshell Igloo. The project code has been successfully tested on Linux Mint 18.3 Sylvia. There is no reason to believe that the code does not work on other platforms, such as Windows; however, this is not something that has been tested by the author.

Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "The rsample library incorporates this dataset, and we can make use of this dataset directly from the library."

A block of code is set as follows:

setwd("~/Desktop/chapter 2")

data(attrition)
str(attrition)
mydata<-attrition

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

[default]
exten => s,1,Dial(Zap/1|30)
exten => s,2,Voicemail(u100)
exten => s,102,Voicemail(b100)
exten => i,1,Voicemail(s0)

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "You may recollect the Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought This heading on Amazon (or any e-commerce site) where recommendations are shown."
