My book ‘Practical Machine Learning in R and Python: Second edition’ on Amazon

The second edition of my book ‘Practical Machine Learning with R and Python – Machine Learning in stereo’ is now available in both paperback ($10.99) and kindle ($7.99/Rs449) versions.  This second edition includes more content,  extensive comments and formatting for better readability.

In this book I implement some of the most common, but important Machine Learning algorithms in R and equivalent Python code.

1.  Practical machine with R and Python: Second Edition – Machine Learning in Stereo (Paperback-$10.99)

2.  Practical machine with R and Python Second Edition – Machine Learning in Stereo

(Kindle- $7.99/Rs449)

This book is ideal both for beginners and the experts in R and/or Python. Those starting their journey into datascience and ML will find the first 3 chapters useful, as they touch upon the most important programming constructs in R and Python and also deal with equivalent statements in R and Python. Those who are expert in either of the languages, R or Python, will find the equivalent code ideal for brushing up on the other language. And finally,those who are proficient in both languages, can use the R and Python implementations to internalize the ML algorithms better.

Here is a look at the topics covered
