Machine Learning in R Course FAQs

The Course

Machine learning offers computers the amazing capability of learning cumulatively from data, and making intelligent decisions based on the data, without being programmed specifically for it. This means that machines can alter their behaviour and respond intelligently by ‘thinking’ in much the same way the human brains do. R is one of the most popular programming languages for Machine learning, as its syntax is perfect for data analytics and visualization.

Our Machine Learning using R programming workshop will help you to harness the machine learning capabilities of R and get the smart hands-on skills that employers seek.

Machine learning experts are among the most sought-after professionals across the world. With Payscale putting average salaries of Deep Learning engineers at $115,034, this is definitely the space you want to be in!
