Conclusion 529
great care must be taken when using it on large applications since
it is required to store all the data internally to build the model.
SVM is another classifier that performed well in all our
experiments. Like kNN, it requires some user supplied parameters.
Unlike kNN, it is likely to scale up to bigger problem sizes because
it keeps a memory efficient internal model. However, understanding
theory behind SVM may not be a trivial task.
The final algorithm we tested was the Decision Tree classifier.
Due to over-fitting problems, its performance was significantly
lower than all the other ...
