چکیده
Most previous work on multiple models has been done on a few domains. We present a com-parsion of three ways of learning multiple models on 29 data sets from the UCI repository. The methods are bagging, k-fold partition learning and stochastic search. By using 29 data sets of various kinds-artiicial data sets, artiicial data sets with noise, molecular-biology and real-world noisy data sets-we are able to draw robust experimental conclusions about the kinds of data sets for which each learning method works best. We also compare four evidence combination methods (Uniform Voting, Bayesian Combination, Distribution Summation and Likelihood Combination) and characterize the kinds of data sets for which each method works best.

Automated Detection of Multiple Sclerosis Lesions Using Texture-based Features and a Hybrid Classifier
Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the most frequent non-traumatic neurological disease capable of causing disability in young adults. Detection of MS lesions with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the most common technique. However, manual interpretation of vast amounts of data is often tedious and error-prone. Furthermore, changes in lesions are often subtle and extremely unrepresentati...
متن کاملComparison of Artificial Neural Network and Multiple Regression Analysis for Prediction of Fat Tail Weight of Sheep
A comparative study of artificial neural network (ANN) and multiple regression is made to predict the fat tail weight of Balouchi sheep from birth, weaning and finishing weights. A multilayer feed forward network with back propagation of error learning mechanism was used to predict the sheep body weight. The data (69 records) were randomly divided into two subsets. The first subset is the train...
