Abstract:

This paper is concerned with the problem of characterization of classication algorithms. The aim is to determine under what circumstances a particular classi cation algorithm is applicable. The method used involves generation of dierent kinds of models. These include regression and rule models, piecewise linear models (model trees) and instance based models. These are generated automatically on the basis of dataset characteristics and given test results. The lack of data is compensated for by various types of preprocessing. The models obtained are characterized by quantifying their predictive capability and the best models are identied. 1
