To get the most out of this book

  1. The official website of R is the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) at www.cran.r-project.org. At the time of writing this book, the most recent version of R is 3.5.1. This software is available for three platforms: Linux, macOS, and Windows. The reader can also download a nice frontend, such as RStudio.
  2. Every chapter has a header section titled Technical requirements. It gives a list of R packages required to run the code in that chapter. For example, the requirements for Chapter 3, Bagging, are as follows:
    • class
    • FNN
    • ipred
    • mlbench
    • rpart

The reader then needs to install all of these packages by running the following lines in the R console:

install.packages("class")
install.packages("mlbench")
install.packages("FNN")
install.packages("rpart")
install.packages("ipred")
