Publisher's Synopsis
Machine learning teaches computers to do what comes naturally to humans: learn from experience. Machine learning algorithms use computational methods to "learn" information directly from data without relying on a predetermined equation as a model. The algorithms adaptively improve their performance as the number of samples available for learning increases. Machine learning uses two types of techniques: supervised learning, which trains a model on known input and output data so that it can predict future outputs, and unsupervised learning, which finds hidden patterns or intrinsic structures in input data. This book develops supervised learning techniques and regression (Linear Regression, Generalized Linear Regression, Support Vector Machine Regression, Gaussian Procces Regression, Regression Trees, Fitting Neura Networks, Neural Networks for Time Series Prediction and Modeling, Ensemble Methods, Boosting, Random Forest and Bagging)
