Simulation-Based Assessment of Classification Methods: Statistical Models vs. Machine Learning Algorithms
Reham Beram,
Ahmed El-Kotory
Abstract:Current studies evaluated the effectiveness of categorization techniques primarily using real datasets with unreported or unknown statistical features. This simulation-based study aims to compare the performance of statistical models (logistic regression, probit regression, and discriminant analysis) with machine learning algorithms (support vector machines, classification and regression trees, and k-nearest neighbors) to comprehensively understand their suitability for classification tasks. Although simulated… Show more
