ISLR-python

This repository contains Python code for a selection of tables, figures and LAB sections from the first edition of the book <A target="_blank" href='https://www.statlearning.com/'>'An Introduction to Statistical Learning with Applications in R'</A> by James, Witten, Hastie, Tibshirani (2013).<P>

For Bayesian data analysis using PyMC3, take a look at <A href='https://github.com/JWarmenhoven/DBDA-python'>this repository</A>.

2018-01-15:<BR> Minor updates to the repository due to changes/deprecations in several packages. The notebooks have been tested with <A href='http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/JWarmenhoven/ISLR-python/blob/master/Notebooks/Python%20module%20versions.ipynb'>these package versions</A>. Thanks @lincolnfrias and @telescopeuser.

<P>

2016-08-30:<BR> Chapter 6: I included Ridge/Lasso regression code using the new <A href='https://github.com/civisanalytics/python-glmnet'>python-glmnet</A> library. This is a python wrapper for the Fortran library used in the R package glmnet.

<P>

The book is available for download (see link below), but I think this is one of those books that is definitely worth buying. The book contains sections with applications in R based on public datasets available for download or which are part of the <A target="_blank" href="https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ISLR/index.html">R-package ISLR</A>. Furthermore, there is a Stanford University online course based on this book and taught by the authors (See <A target="_blank" href='https://www.edx.org/school/stanfordonline'>course catalogue</A> for current schedule).<P> Since Python is my language of choice for data analysis, I decided to try and do some of the calculations and plots in Jupyter Notebooks using:

It was a good way to learn more about Machine Learning in Python by creating these notebooks. I created some of the figures/tables of the chapters and worked through some LAB sections. At certain points I realize that it may look like I tried too hard to make the output identical to the tables and R-plots in the book. But I did this to explore some details of the libraries mentioned above (mostly matplotlib and seaborn). Note that this repository is <STRONG>not a standalone tutorial</STRONG> and that you probably should have a copy of the book to follow along. Suggestions for improvement and help with unsolved issues are welcome! See Hastie et al. (2009) for an advanced treatment of these topics.<P>
