When Statistical techniques and machine learning are combined together they are a powerful tool for analysing various kinds of data in many computer science\/engineering areas including, image processing, speech processing, natural language processing, robot control, as well as in fundamental sciences such as biology, medicine, astronomy, physics, and materials. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e  \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction to Statistical Machine Learning provides a\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003egeneral introduction to machine learning that covers a wide range of topics concisely and will help you bridge the gap between theory and practice. Part I discusses the fundamental concepts of statistics and probability that are used in describing machine learning algorithms. Part II and Part III explain the two major approaches of machine learning techniques; generative methods and discriminative methods. While Part III provides an in-depth look at advanced topics that play essential roles in making machine learning algorithms more useful in practice. The accompanying MATLAB\/Octave programs provide you with the necessary practical skills needed to accomplish a wide range of data analysis tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Introduction to Statistics and Probability\u003c\/b\u003e1.
