Statistical Learning using R

I recently came across this book titled “An Introduction to Statistical Learning, with Applications in R“.

It can be downloaded for free at the authors webpage, which also contain the R codes, data sets, errata, slides and videos for Statistical Learning MOOC, and other valuable information.

That said, I think this is a very useful book for those interested in Statistical Learning. It is very accessible to most people, since it does not require a strong mathematical background.

For those interested in gaining a deeper understanding of these topics, I strongly suggest the book “The Elements of Statistical Learning“, which is also available for download at no cost.

Statistical Learning using R – A downloadable book

I was looking for some books on Statistical Learning for a new course that I am preparing, and I came across a very interesting book titled “The Elements of Statistical Learning Data Mining, Inference, and Prediction” by Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, and Jerome Friedman. This book can be downloaded for free. I enjoyed reading this book since it is very well written and contains several examples. Additionally, data and R scripts used in the book are available for download in the book website.
