VELASQUEZ HENAO, JUAN DAVID  and  BRANCH BEDOYA, JOHN WILLIAN. EXAMPLES IN THE CLASSROOM: PATTERN CLASSIFICATION USING THE R LANGUAGE. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.173, pp.81-88. ISSN 0012-7353.

In many courses with a strong mathematical background, students often experience difficulties when concepts are put into practice to solve problems. In our teaching experience, the R language for statistical computing is a powerful tool for exemplifying algorithms, solving numerical problems, and illustrating concepts by using complex graphics. This paper presents some non-trivial examples of the application of the R language from our instruction of the pattern classification course in our school of engineering.

Keywords : computer graphics; teaching; algorithms; pattern recognition.
