Data for Machine Learning with R

Machine Learning with R by Brett Lantz is a book that provides an introduction to machine learning using R. As far as I can tell, Packt Publishing does not make its datasets available online unless you buy the book and create a user account which can be a problem if you are checking the book out from the library or borrowing the book from a friend. All of these datasets are in the public domain but simply needed some cleaning up and recoding to match the format in the book.

How to download the data

1. In your Mac or Linux envirounment, open a terminal and change to the directory where you want your data to be downloaded.
2. Go to the github page you want to download it's data (for example the challenger data in chapter 6: https://github.com/stedy/Machine-Learning-with-R-datasets/blob/master/challenger.csv)
3. On the right side, you will find a button called "raw". Click on it.
4. Copy the url you will get for the new page (in our example I got https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stedy/Machine-Learning-with-R-datasets/master/challenger.csv)
5. put the following command in the terminal screen wget name_of_url

so in our example it should be like this wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stedy/Machine-Learning-with-R-datasets/master/challenger.csv
