Unsupervised Learning in R

Machine learning is often used to find patterns in data. It is impossible to predict the future. This is unsupervised learning. This can be used to identify the unsupervised learning that is being done to target marketing campaigns by grouping consumers based on their buying history and demographics. Another example is to determine the unmeasured factors that affect differences in crime rates between cities. This course will give you a general introduction to clustering and dimension in R from a machine learning perspective. This course will allow you to quickly get data into insight.
