دانلود کتاب Hands-On Ensemble Learning with R: A beginner's guide to combining the power of machine learning algorithms using ensemble techniques

Explore powerful R packages to create predictive models using ensemble methodsKey FeaturesImplement machine learning algorithms to build ensemble-efficient modelsExplore powerful R packages to create predictive models using ensemble methodsLearn to build ensemble models on large datasets using a practical approachBook DescriptionEnsemble techniques are used for combining two or more similar or dissimilar machine learning algorithms to create a stronger model. Such a model delivers superior prediction power and can give your datasets a boost in accuracy.Hands-On Ensemble Learning with R begins with the important statistical resampling methods. You will then walk through the central trilogy of ensemble techniques – bagging, random forest, and boosting – then you'll learn how they can be used to provide greater accuracy on large datasets using popular R packages. You will learn how to combine model predictions using different machine learning algorithms to build ensemble models. In addition to this, you will explore how to improve the performance of your ensemble models.By the end of this book, you will have learned how machine learning algorithms can be combined to reduce common problems and build simple efficient ensemble models with the help of real-world examples.What you will learnCarry out an essential review of re-sampling methods, bootstrap, and jackknifeExplore the key ensemble methods: bagging, random forests, and boostingUse multiple algorithms to make strong predictive modelsEnjoy a comprehensive treatment of boosting methodsSupplement methods with statistical tests, such as ROCWalk through data structures in classification, regression, survival, and time series dataUse the supplied R code to implement ensemble methodsLearn stacking method to combine heterogeneous machine learning modelsWho this book is forThis book is for you if you are a data scientist or machine learning developer who wants to implement machine learning techniques by building ensemble models with the power of R. You will learn how to combine different machine learning algorithms to perform efficient data processing. Basic knowledge of machine learning techniques and programming knowledge of R would be an added advantage.Table of ContentsIntroduction to Ensemble TechniquesBootstrappingBaggingRandom ForestsThe Bare Bones Boosting AlgorithmsBoosting RefinementsThe General Ensemble TechniqueEnsemble DiagnosticsEnsembling Regression ModelsEnsembling Survival ModelsEnsembling Time Series ModelsWhat's Next?
