Study Notes
Model Evaluation and Selection
- Evaluate different classification models to discover patterns from a single data set
- Need systematic ways to evaluate and compare different models
- Predict the ability of different models to accurately classify independent test data
Tenfold Cross-Validation
- Divide the data into 10 equal parts
- Each fold is held out in turn as the test set
- Repeat 10 times (10 rounds)
- Predictive accuracy = mean accuracy over 10 rounds
- Advantage: Reduce the effect of uneven representation of examples in training and test sets
- Disadvantage: Computationally expensive, approximation in stratified 10 fold division
Stratification
- Each class is properly represented in both training and test sets
- Test data is not used in any way in the formation of the classification model
Leave-one-out Cross-Validation
- Used for small data sets
- Divide the dataset into a training set and a test set
- Each example is a fold
- One fold (one example) for testing
- Remaining n-1 examples for training
- Repeat n times (n rounds), with each example held out in turn for testing
- Predictive accuracy of the classification algorithm is the mean predictive accuracy
- Advantage: Greatest possible amount of data is used for training in each round
- Disadvantage: High computational cost, deterministic procedure, no stratification in the test set
Classification Algorithms

- Decision Tree Induction
- Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs)
Knowledge Discovery Process
