A Comparative Study for Classification on Different Domain
Noviyanti T M Sagala, Jenq‐Haur Wang · 2018
There is no individual classification technique has been shown to deal with all kinds of classification problems. The objective is to select the technique which more possibly reaches the best performance for any domain of data set. We focus on classifying datasets in different domains and properties such as numerical, categorical, and textual. We deal with one versus all strategy to handle multi-class problems. In the experiment, we compared the performance of 4 classification techniques namely Boosted C5.0, KNN, Naïve Bayes, and SVM on 10-fold cross-validation on different number of features. For numerical data set (low and high dimensional data set), the performance of KNN was better than other classification methods. For a categorical and textual data set, Naïve Bayes and SVM were outperformed, respectively.
