Bu e-kitab haqqında

Extracting knowledge from information through data analysis: the data scientist has been called the most attractive profession of the 21st century. Analyze the relationships between data, discover new information and, thanks to machine learning, exploit the immense potential hidden in it by building predictive models. In this book, we illustrate methods to analyze and manipulate data, and Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms to predict information, moving from theoretical knowledge to practical applications with statistical software R, through extensive practical examples
