{"product_id":"predictive-analytics-using-r","title":"Predictive Analytics using R","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is about predictive analytics. Yet, each chapter could easily be handled by an entire volume of its own. So one might think of this a survey of predictive modeling. A predictive model is a statistical model or machine learning model used to predict future behavior based on past behavior.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn order to use this book, one should have a basic understanding of mathematical statistics Ñ it is an advanced book. Some theoretical foundations are laid out but not proven, but references are provided for additional coverage. Every chapter culminates in an example using R. R is a free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. You may download R, from a preferred CRAN mirror at http:\/\/www.r-project.org\/.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe book is organized so that statistical models are presented first (hopefully in a logical order), followed by machine learning models, and then applications: uplift modeling and time series. One could use this a textbook with problem solving in RÑbut there are no Òby-handÓ exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeffrey Strickland","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43998044651681,"sku":"9781312841017","price":87.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1v96g6yv-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1747218241","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/predictive-analytics-using-r","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
