An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides an accessible
overview of the field of statistical learning, an essential toolset
for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged
in fields ranging from biology to finance to marketing to astrophysics
in the past twenty years. This book presents some of the most
important modeling and prediction techniques, along with relevant
applications. Topics include linear regression, classification,
resampling methods, shrinkage approaches, tree-based methods, support
vector machines, clustering, deep learning, survival analysis,
multiple testing, and more. Color graphics and real-world examples are
used to illustrate the methods presented. Since the goal of this
textbook is to facilitate the use of these statistical learning
techniques by practitioners in science, industry, and other fields,
each chapter contains a tutorial on implementing the analyses and
methods presented in R, an extremely popular open source statistical
software platform. Two of the authors co-wrote The Elements of
Statistical Learning (Hastie, Tibshirani and Friedman, 2nd edition
2009), a popular reference book for statistics and machine learning
researchers. An Introduction to Statistical Learning covers many of
the same topics, but at a level accessible to a much broader audience.
This book is targeted at statisticians and non-statisticians alike who
wish to use cutting-edge statistical learning techniques to analyze
their data. The text assumes only a previous course in linear
regression and no knowledge of matrix algebra. This Second Edition
features new chapters on deep learning, survival analysis, and
multiple testing, as well as expanded treatments of naïve Bayes,
generalized linear models, Bayesian additive regression trees, and
matrix completion. R code has been updated throughout to ensure
compatibility.
