Authors Drew Conway and John Myles White help you understand machine learning and statistics tools through a series of hands-on case studies, instead of a traditional math-heavy presentation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach chapter focuses on a specific problem in machine learning, such as classification, prediction, optimization, and recommendation. Using the R programming language, you'll learn how to analyze sample datasets and write simple machine learning algorithms. \u003ci\u003eMachine Learning for Hackers\u003c\/i\u003e is ideal for programmers from any background, including business, government, and academic research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelop a naïve Bayesian classifier to determine if an email is spam, based only on its text \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse linear regression to predict the number of page views for the top 1,000 websites \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn optimization techniques by attempting to break a simple letter cipher \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompare and contrast U.S. Senators statistically, based on their voting records \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild a \"whom to follow\" recommendation system from Twitter data \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"O'Reilly Media","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45029394382999,"sku":"9781449303716","price":3455.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781449303716.webp?v=1769203809","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/machine-learning-for-hackers-9781449303716","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
