Abstract

The significance of data mining has experienced dramatic growth over the past few years. This growth has been so drastic that many industries and academic disciplines apply data mining in some form. Data mining is a broad subject that encompasses several topics and problems; however this paper will focus on the supervised learning classification problem and discovering ways to optimize the classification process. Four classification techniques (naive Bayes, support vector machine, decision tree, and random forest) were studied and applied to data sets from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. A Classification Learning Toolbox (CLT) was developed using the R statistical programming language to analyze the date sets and report the relationships and prediction accuracy between the four classifiers.
