Bold numbers indicate the best results.

*The P-value was calculated by comparing the F-measure between the best algorithm (SVM + RBF kernel) and the other algorithms using the paired t-test in 10-fold cross-validation.

N/A indicates that the performances between the two algorithms are identical and no P-value is returned.
