Results

To investigate what the optimum number of divisions for the histogram were, it was decided to run a test with some of the sample data and using two learners, C4.5 and IBL1gif.

  
Figure 5.3: Graph of the relationship between error and the number of divisions used in making the histograms.

The results of the tests on accuracy using the 6-divisions agreed upon above are shown in table 5.3.
