Presentation to accompany the Shiny App: https://jmcastagnetto.shinyapps.io/predict-child-height. This was done as part of the course project for the Coursera class "Developing Data Products", July 2015 session.

I am currently reading the book "Machine Learning with R" by Brent Lantz, and also want to learn more about the caret package, so I decided to replicate the SPAM/HAM classification example from the chapter 4 of the book using caret instead of the e1071 package used in the text. Also, instead of using as comparison the number of false positives, I decided to use the sensitivity and specificity as criteria to evaluate the prediction models. Another difference is that I used the calculated models on a (different) second dataset to test their prediction performance.
