Book Description

We are in the era of big data. There are essentially two reasons why people gather increasing volumes of data: first, they think some valuable assets are implicitly coded within them, and second computer technology enables effective data storage at reduced costs.

The procedure for finding useful patterns in data is known by different names in different communities but more and more, the set of computational techniques and tools to support the modelling of large amount of data is grouped under the label of machine learning.

This book aims to present the statistical foundations of machine learning intended as the discipline which deals with the automatic design of models from data. In particular, we focus on supervised learning problems, where the goal is to model the relation between a set of input variables, and one or more output variables, which are considered to be dependent on the inputs in some manner.

• An Introduction to Statistical Learning (Gareth James, et al)

  It provides an accessible overview of the field of Statistical Learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance to marketing to astrophysics in the past twenty years.

• The Elements of Statistical Learning: Data Mining, Inference, etc.

  This book describes the important ideas in these areas in a common conceptual framework. While the approach is statistical, the emphasis is on concepts rather than mathematics. Many examples are given, with a liberal use of color graphics.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction (Kevin Murphy)

  This book is a comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach. It is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.

• Statistical Learning and Sequential Prediction

  This book focuses on theoretical aspects of Statistical Learning and Sequential Prediction, a unified approach to analyzing learning in both scenarios, brings together ideas from probability and statistics, game theory, algorithms, and optimization.
