[ml] R workshop tonight: parameter and feature selection on spam dataset

[Joe Hale]

Hey,

Thanks Erin! Just want to note a couple of dependencies which some
people may not have installed.

I just ran the code on a fairly clean R install on Mac OS X and found
I needed to install three R packages:
* leaps
* lars
* pls

This is easily done in the R GUI from Packages & Data -> Package Installer

Cheers,

Joe
