We've had some great threads on books for learning statistics and other topics recently! Machine learning is obviously a massive trend right now, and packages like keras look super exciting. The trouble is, I have zero background in this stuff, and seeing some minimal examples of a package running …

A great starting place that I'd recommend would be An Introduction To Statistical Learning ; it's a very well-written and accessible introduction to the area, complete with R exercises and code for you to get more familiar with. If you want a heavier version of the material (with more of the maths le…

edX also has a few worth checking out. This one from caltech is basically filmed lectures but the guy knows his stuff. Others have good reviews but I haven't tested them personally I'd definitely be interested to know if anybody has a bookdown project underway featuring relevant R packages

I second "An Introduction To Statistical Learning" as a good start. The authors of the text teach an free online course that follows the material of the book. I found this a very engaging course which gave me a good introduction to the subject. I wasn't expecting it, but it also contains a lot of im…

I can highly reccomend the book from Max Kuhn (the author of the caret pkg) - Applied Predictive Modeling . Apart from showing and discussing the models it also goes into the practicalities of training, pitfalls to watch out etc.

This is probably the best resource I found for Neural Networks/Deep Learning: http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/chap1.html I find it well-written and easy to dive into, compared with say, the Goodfellow book on Deep Learning.

An Intro to and Elements of Statistical Learning came up in an earlier thread, so I reckon they'll be a good start :slight_smile: I also like the look of that link, @pedram ! Thanks, everyone :smiley:

I 100% support starting with ISLR. It's a great guide to the fundamentals and underlying theory. For book 2, I recommend: [image] Machine Learning for Hackers If you're an experienced programmer interested in crunching data, this book will get you started with machine learning--a toolkit…

If you are interested in deep learning and keras, then the upcoming book "Deep Learning with R" is an excellent choice. [image] Deep Learning with R Deep Learning with R introduces the world of deep learning using the powerful Keras library and its R language interface. The book builds y…

Some people here have linked to specific O'Reilly books, but I can't see a link to their free ebooks page , which is fantastic. It covers ebooks from "O’Reilly editors, authors, and Strata speakers" covering topics such as Data Science, AI and Big Data.

May I recommend my book " The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book "?
