The machine learning reading group meets on Fridays from 1-2 pm (3534 Franz Hall).  To start out, we will be working our way through "The Elements of Statistical Learning" by Hastie, Tibshirani, and Friedman. 

Example code:

The example code is written in R (http://www.r-project.org/), an open-source statistical programming language, and MATLAB.

Chapter 2: 

• ch2_ex1.R (sections 2.1-2.4)
• ch2_ex2.R (sections 2.5-2.6)
• ch2_ex3.R (recreates figure 2.10)

Chapter 3:

• ch3_ex1.R (recreates Figure 3.1)
• ch3_orth.R (example of successive orthogonalization, from section 3.3)
  
• ch3_shrinkage.R (recreates Figure 3.6, though without all subsets variable selection)
• ch3_pca.R (recreates Figure 3.8)
  

Chapter 4:

• ch4_lin_reg.R (example of problems with classification by linear regression, section 4.2)
• hyperplane.m (by Hongjing Lu: demonstrates optimal separating hyperplanes - requires optimization toolbox)
