Course Description
Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
R is one of the leading technologies in the field of data science. Starting out at a basic level, this Learning Path will teach you how to develop and implement machine learning and deep learning algorithms using R in real-world scenarios.
The Learning Path begins with covering some basic concepts of R to refresh your knowledge of R before we deep-dive into the advanced techniques. You will start with setting up the environment and then perform data ETL in R. You will then learn important machine learning topics, including data classification, regression, clustering, association rule mining, and dimensionality reduction. Next, you will understand the basics of deep learning and artificial neural networks and then move on to exploring topics such as ANNs, RNNs, and CNNs. Finally, you will learn about the applications of deep learning in various fields and understand the practical implementations of scalability, HPC, and feature engineering.
By the end of the Learning Path, you will have a solid knowledge of all these algorithms and techniques and be able to implement them efficiently in your data science projects.
Do not worry if this seems too far-fetched right now; we have combined the best works of the following esteemed authors to ensure that your learning journey is smooth:

Reviews
The content is good but the instructor is rushing. Does't allow for proper thought
content is good but the voice-over (computerized?) is horrible
also he's going too fast through the different concepts
wish I had my money back
The explanations are based on R code mainly, and lack the statistical understanding of the metrics and tests
