Statistical Learning from a Regression Perspective

Abstract

Over the past 8 years, the topics associated with statistical learning have been expanded and consolidated. They have been expanded because new problems have been tackled, new tools have been developed, and older tools have been refined. They have been consolidated because many unifying concepts and themes have been identified. It has also become more clear from practice which statistical learning tools will be widely applied and which are likely to see limited service. In short, it seems this is the time to revisit the material and make it more current
