While a large portion of the European family has been surging westward during the last three or four
hundred years, settling the vast continents of America, another, but smaller, portion has been doing
frontier work in the Old World, protecting the rear by beating back the "unspeakable Turk" and
reclaiming gradually the...
Machine learning is an intimidating subject until you know the fundamentals. If you understand basic coding concepts, this introductory guide will help you gain a solid foundation in machine learning principles. Using the R programming language, you’ll first start to learn with regression modelling and then move into more...
