Abstract
The classification task is to predict the value of the target variable from the values of the input variables. If a target is provided as part of the dataset, then classification is a supervised task. It is important to analysis the performance of supervised classification models before using them in classification task. In our research we would like to propose a novel way to evaluated the performance of supervised classification models like Decision Tree and Naïve Bayes using KNIME Analytics platform. Experiments are conducted on Multi variant dataset consisting 58000 instances, 9 columns associated specially for classification, collected from UCI Machine learning repositories (http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/statlog+(shuttle)) and compared the performance of both the models in terms of Classification Accuracy (CA) and Error Rate. Finally, validated both the models using Metric precision, recall and F-measure. In our finding, we found that Decision tree acquires CA (99.465%) where as Naïve Bayes attain CA (90.358%). The F-measure of Decision tree is 0.984, whereas Naïve Bayes acquire 0.7045.
