Reinforcement Learning Learning Resources

Reinforcement Learning is a subset of machine learning, which is a neural network with three or more layers. These neural networks attempt to simulate the behavior of the human brain,though, far from matching its ability. This allows the neural networks to "learn" from a process in which a model learns to become more accurate for performing an action in an environment based on feedback in order to maximize the reward. The Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised.

R Tools, Libraries, and Frameworks

Visual Studio Code is a code editor redefined and optimized for building and debugging modern web and cloud applications.

Code Server is a tool that allows you to run VS Code on any machine anywhere and access it in the browser.

VSCode-R is a VS Code extension provides support for the R programming language, including features such as extended syntax highlighting, R language service based on code analysis, interacting with R terminals, viewing data, plots, workspace variables, help pages, managing packages, and working with R Markdown documents.

R Debugger is an extension that adds debugging capabilities for the R programming language to Visual Studio Code and depends on the R package vscDebugger (documentation).

Language Server Protocol (LSP) is a tool that defines the protocol used between an editor or IDE and a language server that provides language features like auto complete, go to definition, find all references.

RStudio is an integrated development environment for R and Python, with a console, syntax-highlighting editor that supports direct code execution, and tools for plotting, history, debugging and workspace management.

Shiny is a newer package from RStudio that makes it incredibly easy to build interactive web applications with R.

Rmarkdown is a package helps you create dynamic analysis documents that combine code, rendered output (such as figures), and prose.

R Host is a host process for R that provides access and extensibility to it remotely over WebSocket and JSON.

Rplugin is R Language supported plugin for the IntelliJ IDE.

Plotly is an R package for creating interactive web graphics via the open source JavaScript graphing library plotly.js.

Metaflow is a Python/R library that helps scientists and engineers build and manage real-life data science projects. Metaflow was originally developed at Netflix to boost productivity of data scientists who work on a wide variety of projects from classical statistics to state-of-the-art deep learning.

Prophet is a procedure for forecasting time series data based on an additive model where non-linear trends are fit with yearly, weekly, and daily seasonality, plus holiday effects. It works best with time series that have strong seasonal effects and several seasons of historical data.

LightGBM is a gradient boosting framework that uses tree based learning algorithms, used for ranking, classification and many other machine learning tasks.

Dash is a Python framework for building analytical web applications in Python, R, Julia, and Jupyter.

MLR is Machine Learning in R.

ML workspace is an all-in-one web-based IDE specialized for machine learning and data science. It is simple to deploy and gets you started within minutes to productively built ML solutions on your own machines. ML workspace is the ultimate tool for developers preloaded with a variety of popular data science libraries (Tensorflow, PyTorch, Keras, and MXnet) and dev tools (Jupyter, VS Code, and Tensorboard) perfectly configured, optimized, and integrated.

CatBoost is a fast, scalable, high performance Gradient Boosting on Decision Trees library, used for ranking, classification, regression and other machine learning tasks for Python, R, Java, C++. Supports computation on CPU and GPU.

Plumber is a tool that allows you to create a web API by merely decorating your existing R source code with special comments.

Drake is an R-focused pipeline toolkit for reproducibility and high-performance computing.

DiagrammeR is a package you can create, modify, analyze, and visualize network graph diagrams. The output can be incorporated into R Markdown documents, integrated with Shiny web apps, converted to other graph formats, or exported as image files.

Knitr is a general-purpose literate programming engine in R, with lightweight API's designed to give users full control of the output without heavy coding work.

Broom is a tool that converts statistical analysis objects from R into tidy format.
