Why does it HAVE to be teaching with R? WHY!?

This guy made a series of ipython notebooks based on the R exercises in the course. It's pretty interesting as it highlights some of the differences in implementation.

Because R was awesome at statistical learning before Pandas existed? Just be happy it doesn't use Matlab :-)

The course was excellent when I took it in January 2014. Or rather, the material is excellent (the book and the videos), the quizzes were usually useful (sometimes way too easy or way too hard), and the forums had good discussions (hampered only by the terrible forum software they use).

The book is available as a free PDF download: http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/

Here are the course videos (15 hours): http://www.dataschool.io/15-hours-of-expert-machine-learning...

It's possible that they will redo the videos, but given the huge amount of time they must have taken to create, I would speculate that they will reuse the same videos.

This is a great introductory course taught by Trevor Hastie and Rob Tibshirani from their latest book, Introduction to Statistical Learning in R.
