A Comparison of Machine Learning Classifiers

Article Preview

Abstract:

A number of different classifiers have been used to improve the precision and accuracy and give better classification results. Machine learning classifiers have proven to be the most successful techniques in majority of the fields. This paper presents a comparison of the three most successful machine learning classification techniques SVM, boosting and Local SVM applied to a cancer dataset. The comparison is made on the basis of precision and accuracy along with the training time analysis. Finally, the efficacy of the classifiers is found.
