Deep Learning with R: Build & Predict Neural Networks

Course Overview

By completing this course, learners will be able to prepare datasets in R, apply statistical and visualization techniques, build regression models, and design, run, and evaluate neural networks. The course begins with data preparation essentials, including working with dataframes, descriptive statistics, and environment setup, ensuring learners can confidently manage their workflow. It then advances to data visualization, where learners generate line graphs, scatter plots, and advanced visualizations to interpret patterns and relationships. Regression modeling concepts are introduced to provide a solid predictive foundation. Finally, the course transitions to deep learning, guiding learners through dataset preparation, neural network coding, multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture, and predictive testing. What makes this course unique is its balance of theory and hands-on application using R, a widely used tool in both academia and industry. Learners not only gain the technical skills to execute commands and build models but also develop the critical thinking needed to evaluate results in real-world contexts. Whether new to machine learning or seeking to expand into deep learning, this course provides a structured, practical pathway to mastering neural networks with R.
