A Course In Data Science: R And Prediction Modeling, Adam Kapelner

Open Educational Resources

This is a self-contained course in data science and machine learning using R. It covers philosophy of modeling with data, prediction via linear models, machine learning including support vector machines and random forests, probability estimation and asymmetric costs using logistic regression and probit regression, underfitting vs. overfitting, model validation, handling missingness and much more. There is formal instruction of data manipulation using dplyr and data.table, visualization using ggplot2 and statistical computing.

Data and Datasets

HOBO logger data of hourly measurements at canopy-aerosphere interface from June to August above temperate forest on campus of University of Massachusetts. Weather station data (precipitation and wind speeds) from nearby weather station extracted from Mesowest.com and needed for manuscript figures. Code (R language) to recreate foundation of figures in manuscript.
