About this title

Synopsis

This text provides a modern introduction to regression and classification with an emphasis on big data and R. Each chapter is partitioned into a main body section and an extras section. The main body uses math stat very sparingly and always in the context of something concrete, which means that readers can skip the math stat content entirely if they wish. The extras section is for those who feel comfortable with analysis using math stat.
