Statistical Learning (in R) at Stanford: MOOC!

Stanford is offering a MOOC (massively open online course) on statistical learning, based on the book  An Introduction to Statistical Learning, with Applications in R by James, Witten, Hastie and Tibshirani (Springer, 2013), which will be freely available to students as a pdf. The course is taught by the third and fourth authors of the book. It’s free, it’s in R, and it sounds like fascinating material. Check it out:
