The Shape of Data : Geometry-Based Machine Learning and Data Analysis in R

The Shape of Data shows how to use geometry- and topology-based algorithms for machine learning. Focused on practical applications rather than dense mathematical concepts, the book progresses through coding examples using social network data, text data, medical data, and education data. Readers will come away with an entirely new toolkit to use in their own machine-learning work, as well as with a solid understanding of some of the most exciting algorithms being used in the field today.
