How it works
Welcome to our Kaggle Machine Learning Tutorial, that guides you through Kaggle's Titanic competition using R and Machine Learning. If you're new to R, you can take our free Introduction to R Tutorial. Although it's not required, familiarity with machine learning techniques is a plus to get the maximum out of this tutorial.
In the editor on the right you should type R code to solve the exercises. When you hit the 'Submit Answer' button, every line of code is interpreted and executed by R and you get a message whether or not your code was correct. The output of your R code is shown in the console in the lower right corner. You can also type and execute code into the console to experiment with R code: your submission is not checked for correctness in this case.
