Data Mining in R

This set of learning materials for undergraduate and graduate data mining class is currently maintained by Xiaorui Zhu. Many materials are from Dr. Yan Yu’s previous class notes. Thanks for the contribution from previous Ph.D. students in Lindner College of Business. Thanks to Dr. Brittany Green for recording the videos.
