The book was not up to the expectations. They used very cheap paper printing is not good and also some pages are not visible to read.Content wise is also not no real time data sets used all they used toy data sets no clear explanation also as the name says "Mastering" but its notI bought "Machine learning with r from Packt" publications.That was very good.setting the expectaions from packt i bought but it is not worth.

Jose Luis Oct 05, 2017

Sometimes, the code in the book doesn't work (R shows error messages and stop running the code) because the data doesn't meet the function requirements.Charts are duplicated / missed what makes not possible to follow the examples properly.This book can be used to get notions about the process but not not master ML with R unless you have R and stats knowledge that enables you to rewrite some code.I have been sending the erratas to the publisher without any respond so far.
