STM1001: Introduction to Machine Learning in R

Data Science Stream (Computer Labs 9B - 11B)

Introduction

Welcome to the final content supplement for the Data Science stream of STM1001.

Throughout the semester, as we cover different aspects of statistics and data science, supplementary documents such as this one will be used to enhance your learning experience.

This document contains material to support your learning as you complete Computer Labs 9B, 10B and 11B of the Data Science stream.

We recommend that you take a few minutes to browse the different sections in this document before Computer Lab 9B. We suggest that you aim to read through all the different sections of this document before starting Computer Lab 10B.

You don’t need to read through all this material at once, and you will most likely refer back to this document multiple times as you complete this set of labs.
