Applied Predictive Modeling (Appendix B)

Today, I read the book “Applied Predictive Modeling”. The reading part is Appendix B, namely An Introduction to R. Generally, I know the basic knowledge of R.

An Introduction to R

apropos(“local R functions”)

RSiteSearch(“function”)

library(function)

install.packages(“package”)

The caret package (classification and regression training): quickly evaluate many different models to find the more appropriate tool for data, providing a unified interface to functions for model building and prediction.

Pre-processing and resampling

The foreach package allows R code to be run either sequentially or in parallel using several different technologies, such as the multicore or Rmpi packages. There are several R packages that work with foreach to implement these techniques, such as doMC (for multicore) or doMPI (for Rmpi).

Sweave: automatic generation of reports

I will continue to learn R next week.
