14  Data Science Intro

For this week, we review two chapters of James et al. (2021), chapters 2 and 5. To review them, we will use the slideshows Ch2_Statistical_Learning.pdf and Ch5_Resampling_Methods.pdf from the book’s authors. We will then do the lab from chapter 5, saved on Canvas as Ch5-resample-lab.html in the folder week14material. We will complete exercises 2.4.1, 5.4.5, 5.4.6, and 5.4.8 from the same book. These materials are all available on the book’s website, as well as on Canvas. This book, now in its second edition, is a widely used introduction to statistical machine learning.
