[R-sig-eco] Machine learning using R (MLUR01)

Thu Dec 13 21:25:38 CET 2018

Machine learning using R (MLUR01)

https://www.prstatistics.com/course/machine-learning-using-r-mlur01/

This course will be delivered by Dr Aristides (Aris) Moustakas from the
8th - 12th April 2019 in Glasgow City Centre.

Course Overview:
his workshop will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn how to
use machine learning to analyze data coming from diverse data domains and
scientific disciplines and without necessarily prior knowledge of the
scientific discipline where the data are coming from. Attendees will learn
how to use R and several R packages including classification and regression
trees, ensembles and bagging, random forests, neural networks, and boosting
(learning from mistakes). These techniques will be used for data
classification, determining goodness-of-fit, predictive modelling (using
explanatory variables to predict a variable of interest), and ultimately
quantify results, errors, and uncertainty. Attendees will also learn how to
produce high quality graphs and figures using R.

Intended Audience:
This workshop is ideal for any scientists seeking an introduction to
quantitative data analysis using machine learning coming from diverse
scientific disciplines such as biology, ecology, medicine, psychology,
economics, or education. No prior knowledge of machine learning ir
required. However basic prior R knowledge is required (loading data,
loading R packages, basic R environment and basic R commands).
