Statistical-Learning-Techniques

This is a Statistical Learning repository which will consist of various Learning algorithms and their implementation in R and their in depth interpretation. Below are the links to the implementation and their in-depth explanation of the learning algorithms in R. All the documents below contain the under-lying mathematical concepts explained with respect to a simple case study in R.

Topics Covered :

1. Supervised Learning

2. Model Selection techniques - AIC, BIC, Mallow's Cp , Adjusted R-squared , Cross validation error.

3. Shrinkage Methods and Regularization techniques - Ridge Regression , LASSO, L1 norm, L2 norm.

4. Non-linear Regression and parametric models

5. Non-parametric model - K-nearest neighbor algorithm

6. Tree based Modelling - Decision Trees

7. Bayesian Modelling technique : Naive Bayes algorithm.

8. Ensemble learning - Random Forests, Gradient Boosting , Bagging.

9. Re-sampling methods and Cross Validation

10. Unsupervised learning
