本书首先简要介绍了R软件的基础知识(安装、R数据结构、R编程、R的输入和输出等)。然后通过四个数据挖掘的实际案例(藻类频率的预测、证券趋势预测和交易系统仿真、交易欺诈预测、微阵列数据分类)介绍数据挖掘技术。这四个案例基本覆盖了常见的数据挖掘技术,从无监督的数据挖掘技术、有监督的数据挖掘技术到半监督的数据挖掘技术。全书以实际问题、解决方案和对解决方案的讨论为主线来组织内容,脉络清晰,并且各章自成体系。读者可以从头至尾逐章学习,也可以根据自己的需要进行学习,找到自己实际问题的解决方案。 本书不需要读者具备R和数据挖掘的基础知识。不管是R初学者,还是熟练的R用户都能从书中找到对自己有用的内容。读者既可以把本书作为学习如何应用R的一本优秀教材,也可以作为数据挖掘的工具书。Data Mining with R:Learning with Case Studies by Luís Torgo(ISBN978?1?4398?1018?7).Copyright ?2011 byTaylor and Francis Group, LLC.Authorized translation from the English language edition publishedby CRC Press, part of Taylor & Francis Group LLC; All rightsreserved.China Machine Pressisauthorized to publish anddistribute exclusively the Chinese (Simplified Characters) languageedition?This edition is authorized for salein the People?sRepublic of China only (excluding Hong Kong, Macao SAR andTaiwan).No part of this publication may be reproduced ordistributed in any form or by any means, or stored in a database orretrieval system, without the prior written permission of thepublisher.Copies of this book sold without a Taylor & Francis sticker onthe cover are unauthorized and illegal.
