Critics Review

“In contrast to other books about machine learning, there is a bigger emphasis on programming and usage in practice. In particular, there is an excellent explanation of how to avoid over/under-fitting, and how to use cross-validation. This book is sure to be helpful for students who are interested to understand the core concepts, as well as their practical implementations in R.”—Toby Dylan Hocking, Assistant Professor, Northern Arizona University“The Art of Machine Learning by Norman Matloff is a welcome addition to a growing body of books about machine learning. Matloff, whose career spans both computer science and statistics, addresses the new and exciting field with a fresh approach.”—Dirk Eddelbuettel, Department of Statistics, University of Illinois
