Table 7.
A comparison between FRaC with and without discretizing numeric features
Feature predictor | Discrete FRaC | FRaC | p-value |
---|---|---|---|
Decision/regression tree | 9 | 25 | 0.000528 |
Linear Kernel SVM | 10 | 27 | 0.000244 |
RBF Kernel SVM | 12 | 26 | 0.00123 |
Tree, linear and RBF SVM combined | 9 | 26 | 0.00146 |
Columns have the same meaning as in Table 4 (Rows for naïve Bayes and RIPPER are not shown because these algorithms are not compatible with numeric targets and therefore the ability of FRaC to handle numeric features is not an advantage when using these models)
