Dear students,
In the following tutorial we will use the 'ElemStatLearn' package, which is a package of codes and functions from one of the best books in Machine Learning (my personal favorite):
The Elements of Statistical Learning
I recommend that you install it with the following steps:
Download the 'ElemStatLearn_2015.6.26.tar.gz' package from this link.
Then go to R-Studio.
In the lower right panel, go to the 'Packages' tab, and then click 'Install'.
Under 'Install from:', select 'Package Archive File (.tgz; .tar.gz)'.
Then under 'Package archive:', click on 'Browse...' and open the 'ElemStatLearn_2015.6.26.tar.gz' package that you just downloaded.
And finally, click 'Install'.
You can also install it with the command prompt using the following command:
R CMD install ElemStatLearn_2015.6.26.tar.gz
Thank you to everyone who brought the changes to our attention and also the students who helped put together the installation methods!
And until then, enjoy Machine Learning!
