Effectiveness Evaluation of Rule Based Classifiers for the Classification of Iris Data Set

Abstract

In machine learning, classification refers to a step by step procedure for designating a given piece of input data into any one of the given categories. There are many classification problem occurs and need to be solved. Different types are classification algorithms like tree-based, rule-based, etc are widely used. This work studies the effectiveness of Rule-Based classifiers for classification by taking a sample data set from UCI machine learning repository using the open source machine learning tool. A comparison of different rule-based classifiers used in Data Mining and a practical guideline for selecting the most suited algorithm for a classification is presented and some empirical criteria for describing and evaluating the classifiers are given.
