Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Statistical Regression and Classification provides a modern introduction to regression and classification with an emphasis on big data and R.

Each chapter is partitioned into a main body section and an extras section. The main body uses mathematical statistics very sparingly and always in the context of something concrete. This means that readers can skip the mathematical statistics content entirely if they wish.

The extras section is for those who feel comfortable with analysis using mathematical statistics.
