20 Machine Learning
20.1 A Minimal rTorch Book
by Alfonso R. Reyes
Practically, you can do everything you could with PyTorch within the R ecosystem.
20.2 Behavior Analysis with Machine Learning Using R
by Enrique Garcia Ceja
This book aims to provide an introduction to machine learning concepts and algorithms applied to a diverse set of behavior analysis problems. It focuses on the practical aspects of solving such problems based on data collected from sensors or stored in electronic records. The included examples demonstrate how to perform several of the tasks involved during a data analysis pipeline such as: data exploration, visualization, preprocessing, representation, model training/validation, and so on. All of this, using the R programming language and real-life datasets.

20.3 Explanatory Model Analysis
by Przemyslaw Biecek, Tomasz Burzykowski
Responsible, Fair and Explainable Predictive Modeling with examples in R and Python
20.4 Feature Engineering and Selection A Practical Approach for Predictive Models
by Max Kuhn, Kjell Johnson
The goals of Feature Engineering and Selection are to provide tools for re-representing predictors, to place these tools in the context of a good predictive modeling framework, and to convey our experience of utilizing these tools in practice.
20.5 Hands-On Machine Learning with R
by Bradley Boehmke, Brandon Greenwell
This book provides hands-on modules for many of the most common machine learning methods to include:
Generalized low rank models, Clustering algorithms, Autoencoders, Regularized models, Random forests, Gradient boosting machines, Deep neural networks, Stacking / super learners and more!
20.6 Interpretable Machine Learning

20.9 Mathematics and Programming for Machine Learning with R From the Ground Up 1st Edition, Kindle
Based on the author’s experience in teaching data science for more than 10 years, Mathematics and Programming for Machine Learning with R: From the Ground Up reveals how machine learning algorithms do their magic and explains how these algorithms can be implemented in code. It is designed to provide readers with an understanding of the reasoning behind machine learning algorithms as well as how to program them. Written for novice programmers, the book progresses step-by-step, providing the coding skills needed to implement machine learning algorithms in R.
Paid: $40
20.10 mlr3 book
by Michel Lang
The mlr3 package and ecosystem provide a generic, object-oriented, and extensible framework for classification, regression, survival analysis, and other machine learning tasks for the R language. They do not implement any learners, but provide a unified interface to many existing learners in R.
20.11 Supervised Machine Learning for Text Analysis in R
by Emil Hvitfeldt, Julia Silge
Modeling as a statistical practice can encompass a wide variety of activities. This book focuses on supervised or predictive modeling for text, using text data to make predictions about the world around us. We use the tidymodels framework for modeling, a consistent and flexible collection of R packages developed to encourage good statistical practice.

20.12 The caret Package
by Max Kuhn
The caret package (short for Classification And REgression Training) is a set of functions that attempt to streamline the process for creating predictive models.
20.13 The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Responsible Machine Learning
by Przemyslaw Biecek, Anna Kozak, Aleksander Zawada
A graphic novel approach to responsible machine learning
20.14 Tidy Modeling with R
by Max Kuhn, Julia Silge
This book provides an introduction to how to use the tidymodels suite of packages to create models using a tidyverse approach and encourages good methodology and statistical practice throughout demonstrated using series of applied examples.
