Statistics for Machine Learning

Preface

Complex statistics in machine learning worry a lot of developers. Knowing statistics helps you build strong machine learning models that are optimized for a given problem statement. I believe that any machine learning practitioner should be proficient in statistics as well as in mathematics, so that they can speculate and solve any machine learning problem in an efficient manner. In this book, we will cover the fundamentals of statistics and machine learning, giving you a holistic view of the application of machine learning techniques for relevant problems. We will discuss the application of frequently used algorithms on various domain problems, using both Python and R programming. We will use libraries such as scikit-learn, e1071 ...
