10 R packages for Machine Learning

Needless to say, R is one of the most efficient and effective tools for analysing and manipulating data for statistical purpose. To add to that, R being both inexpensive and beautiful, embellishes both the art of programming and proliferating the skill set of the programmer.

Great list from Big Data Made Simple.  I've only used e1071 and rpart from the list myself, but having recently learnt about it still prefer the caret package as it can be central to so many different models.  You can find some information about caret here.  If you look at Train Model List that tells you the different models you can get from using the caret package.
