Reviews

"Tree-based algorithms have been a workhorse for data science teams for decades, but the data science field has lacked an all-encompassing review of trees - and their modern variants like XGBoost - until now. Greenwell has written the ultimate guide for tree-based methods: how they work, their pitfalls, and alternative solutions. He puts it all together in a readable and immediately usable book. You're guaranteed to learn new tips and tricks to help your data science team. -Alex Gutman, Director of Data Science, Author: Becoming a Data Head ""Here’s a new title that is a “must have” for any data scientist who uses the R language. It’s a wonderful learning resource for tree-based techniques in statistical learning, one that’s become my go-to text when I find the need to do a deep dive into various ML topic areas for my work."" Daniel D. Gutierrez, Editor-in-Chief for insideBIGDATA, USA, insideBIGDATA, February 2023"
