Abstract— Classification is the process of arranging a number of items into groups in such a manner that the members of the group have one or more characteristics in common. In this research paper, we present a comparative study of five different classification algorithms using WEKA, a data mining tool. This article gives an overview about the classification algorithms such as ZeroR, Naïve Bayes, J48, IBK and SMO. The dataset used for conducting the experiment is the toxicity dataset of aliphatic carboxylic acids. The main aim of this paper is to make a comparison of different classification algorithms and to find out the best algorithm out of the five chosen algorithm which gives the most accurate result.
