Hands-On Reinforcement Learning with R: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Hands-On Reinforcement Learning with R" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Implement key reinforcement learning algorithms and techniques using different R packages such as the Markov chain, MDP toolbox, contextual, and OpenAI Gym

Key Features

  • Explore the design principles of reinforcement learning and deep reinforcement learning models
    • Use dynamic programming to solve design issues related to building a self-learning system
    • Learn how to systematically implement reinforcement learning algorithms

      Book Description

      Reinforcement learning (RL) is an integral part of machine learning (ML), and is used to train algorithms. With this book, youll learn how to implement reinforcement learning with R, exploring practical examples such as using tabular Q-learning to control robots.

      Youll begin by learning the basic RL concepts, covering the agent-environment interface, Markov Decision Processes (MDPs), and policy gradient methods. Youll then use Rs libraries to develop a model based on Markov chains. You will also learn how to solve a multi-armed bandit problem using various R packages. By applying dynamic programming and Monte Carlo methods, you will also find the best policy to make predictions. As you progress, youll use Temporal Difference (TD) learning for vehicle routing problem applications. Gradually, youll apply the concepts youve learned to real-world problems, including fraud detection in finance, and TD learning for planning activities in the healthcare sector. Youll explore deep reinforcement learning using Keras, which uses the power of neural networks to increase RLs potential. Finally, youll discover the scope of RL and explore the challenges in building and deploying machine learning models.

      By the end of this book, youll be well-versed with RL and have the skills you need to efficiently implement it with R.

      What you will learn

    • Understand how to use MDP to manage complex scenarios
    • Solve classic reinforcement learning problems such as the multi-armed bandit model
    • Use dynamic programming for optimal policy searching
    • Adopt Monte Carlo methods for prediction
    • Apply TD learning to search for the best path
    • Use tabular Q-learning to control robots
    • Handle environments using the OpenAI library to simulate real-world applications
    • Develop deep Q-learning algorithms to improve model performance

      Who this book is for

      This book is for anyone who wants to learn about reinforcement learning with R from scratch. A solid understanding of R and basic knowledge of machine learning are necessary to grasp the topics covered in the book.
