Now that storage and collection technologies are cheaper and more precise, methods for extracting relevant information from large datasets is within the reach any experienced programmer willing to crunch data. With this book, you'll learn machine learning and statistics tools in a practical fashion, using black-box solutions and case studies instead of a traditional math-heavy presentation. By exploring each problem in this book in depth - including both viable and hopeless approaches - you'll learn to recognize when your situation closely matches traditional problems. Then you'll discover how to apply classical statistics tools to your problem. Machine Learning for Hackers is ideal for programmers from private, public, and academic sectors.

This e-book will introduce users to the RStudio framework for using and programming R, the widely used open source statistical computing environment. The RStudio framework, is an open source project that brings together many powerful coding tools into an intuitive interface. It runs under all major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux) and through a web browser (using the server installation). This text should appeal to newer R users and students who want to explore the interface to get the most out of R and to older R users who want to use a more modern looking development environment. The book will serve as both a resource to look up specific features provided by RStudio and as an introduction to the following processes with R: data analysis, programming and report generation.

《环境与生态统计:R语言的应用》内容简介：在强调统计思维的归纳性本质基础上，《环境与生态统计:R语言的应用》把应用统计学跟环境与生态领域关联到一起。《环境与生态统计:R语言的应用》遵循解决统计建模问题的一般方法。内容覆盖了模型界定、参数估值和模型评估。作者用了很多实例来阐述统计学模型以及如何用R语言来实现模型。《环境与生态统计:R语言的应用》首先为开展简单的数据分析任务提供了基础知识。例如探索性数据分析和线性回归模型拟合。接下来重点介绍了统计建模，包括线性和非线性模型、分类和回归树以及广义线性模型。书中还讨论了用于模型检验的模拟，为开发出的模型提供评估工具，同时探讨了多层回归模型这类会对环境和生态学数据分析产生广泛影响的模型。 《环境与生态统计:R语言的应用》重点针对的是环境和生态学问题的统计建模和数据分析。通过引导读者理解解决科学问题和开发统计模型的过程，轻松地从科学假设过渡到统计模型。

The ability to interpret and act on the massive amounts of information locked in web and enterprise systems is critical to success in the modern business economy. R, a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics, is a comprehensive package that empowers developers and analysts to capture, process, and respond intelligently to statistical information. R in Action is the first book to present both the R system and the use cases that make it such a compelling package for business developers. The book begins by introducing the R language, and then moves on to various examples illustrating R's features. Coverage includes data mining methodologies, approaches to messy data, R's extensive graphical environment, useful add-on modules, and how to interface R with other software platforms and data management systems.

This is a practical, step by step guide that will help you to quickly become proficient in the data analysis using R. The book is packed with clear examples, screenshots, and code to carry on your data analysis without any hurdle. If you are a data analyst, business or information technology professional, student, educator, researcher, or anyone else who wants to learn to analyze the data effectively then this book is for you. No prior experience with R is necessary. Knowledge of other programming languages, software packages, or statistics may be helpful, but is not required.
