From oliverhooker @ending from pr@t@ti@tic@@com Thu Dec 13 21:26:04 2018 From: oliverhooker @ending from pr@t@ti@tic@@com (Oliver Hooker) Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2018 20:26:04 -0000 Subject: [R-sig-genetics] Machine learning using R (MLUR01) Message-ID: 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). Course Programme: Monday 8th ? Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Day 1 Theory Revision: linear regression analysis, classification and regression trees, assumptions, and limitations Introduction to artificial intelligence Introduction to machine learning, assumptions, advantages, over-fitting Practical Data analysis with Generalized linear models Data analysis with classification and regression trees Analysis of own data Tuesday 9th ? Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Day 2 Theory Ensembles and bagging Random forests Learning from mistakes Practical Analysis of data with Random Forests: Supervised learning, training assessing predictive accuracy Applications with data from social sciences, economics, and biology Wednesday 10th ? Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Day 3 Theory Artificial Neural Networks Support Vector Machines Practical Classification and regression with ANN and SVM ROC Curves Variable importance Thursday 11th ? Classes from 09:30 to 17:30 Day 4 Theory Special topics: Spatial data, spatial analysis, spatial autocorrelation Spatial analysis with machine learning Dealing with factors and binary data Factor analysis with machine learning Practical Spatial analysis with machine learning Factor analysis with machine learning Friday 12th ?
