The book Machine Learning – An Introduction for Psychology, Humanities, and Social Sciences by Sven Hilbert, Elisabeth Kraus, and Alfred Lindl has been published by Springer as an eBook and softcover edition. It provides an accessible introduction to the methods and possibilities of machine learning—especially for those who want to work with data-driven questions in academia, studies, or professional settings. The authors explain key concepts, typical application areas, and the advantages over classical statistical methods. Step by step, the book demonstrates how data can be prepared for learning processes, how models are trained and adjusted, and how results can be interpreted—implemented in a practical way using the programming language R. |
