6.1 Introduction
Most classification methods are based on building a model in the training phase, and then using this model for specific test instances, during the actual classification phase.

As discussed in the introduction chapter of this book, these two phases are as follows:
- Training Phase: In this phase, a model is constructed from the training instances.
- Testing Phase: In this phase, the model is used to assign a label to an unlabeled test instance.
