The Elements of Statistical Learning together with the online course (http://www.r-bloggers.com/in-depth-introduction-to-machine-learning-in-15-hours-of-expert-videos/ http://www.r-bloggers.com/in-depth-introduction-to-machine-l...) makes for a great introduction.
EDIT: Oops I should have said "An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R" rather than The Elements of Statistical Learning. The Elements book goes into way too much depth to be a good introduction to the subject.
- snoman 11y agoSimilarly, An Introduction to Statistical Learning With Applications in R is like a practical version of (or companion to) Elements. I very much enjoyed it.
- craigching 11y agoAnd the Stanford version of the same class linked above for ISLR is, in my opinion, better: https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/HumanitiesandScience/StatLearning/Winter2015/about https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/HumanitiesandScience/S...
- weavie 11y agoYes good point, my bad - I meant to link to "An Introduction" rather than "Elements". Elements is not a good starting point - your head will explode.
