    1. The document summarizes the steps taken to analyze a dataset using the ZeroR and OneR classification algorithms in Weka. 2. Key results showed the OneR algorithm had higher accuracy than ZeroR for both the gender and education attributes. For gender, accuracy was 0.929 for OneR and 0.5 for ZeroR. 3. OneR was found to be a more accurate classifier than ZeroR as it generates individual rules based on each predictor rather than just predicting the majority class.

    In-class Exercise (Classification: ZeroR and OneR)

     The knowledge discovery process steps I followed:

    1. Data cleaning: In this dataset there is no noise or inconsistent data therefore no need to clean it.

    2. Data integration: I combined 2 sheets and create 1 dataset.

    3. Data: I selected all data because all data is relevant to analysis.

    4. Data transformation: I transformed data into arff format for Weka


    5. Data mining: I used Weka Associator with default parameters.

    6. Pattern evaluation: I classified this dataset on WEKA using ZeroR and OneR classifiers.

    7. Knowledge presentation: I compared the accuracy of these classifiers.


     Visualization of the dataset according to class label gender and education separately:

    Visualization of all attributes

    Class label education


    Class label gender
    Class label: Gender
    Classifier: ZeroR
    Class label: Gender
    Classifier: OneR
    Class label: Education
    Classifier: ZeroR
    Class label: Education

    Classifier: OneR
    Comparison the accuracy of the classifiers

    Accuracy is measured by the area under the ROC curve.


    For class label gender ZeroR algorithms accuracy is 0.5 and OneR algorithms accuracy is 0.929, OneR
    accuracy is better.
    For class lable education ZeroR algorithms accuracy is 0.5 and OneR algorithms accuracy is 0.598, OneR
    accuracy is better.

    I got the best accuracy with class label gender and classification algorithm OneR, which is 0.029.

    Discussion and comparison of ZeroR and OneR

    ZeroR
    ZeroR is the simplest classification method which relies on the target and ignores all predictors. ZeroR classifier
    simply predicts the majority category (class). Although there is no predictability power in ZeroR, it is useful for
    determining a baseline performance as a benchmark for other classification methods.
    Construct a frequency table for the target and select its most frequent value. There is nothing to be said about
    the predictors contribution to the model because ZeroR does not use any of them. ZeroR only predicts the
    majority class correctly. As mentioned before, ZeroR is only useful for determining a baseline performance for
    other classification methods.

    OneR
    OneR, short for "One Rule", is a simple, yet accurate, classification algorithm that generates one rule for each
    predictor in the data, then selects the rule with the smallest total error as its "one rule". To create a rule for a
    predictor, we construct a frequency table for each predictor against the target. It has been shown that OneR
    produces rules only slightly less accurate than state-of-the-art classification algorithms while producing rules that
    are simple for humans to interpret.
    OneR Algorithm

    For each predictor,


    For each value of that predictor, make a rule as follows;
    Count how often each value of target (class) appears
    Find the most frequent class
    Make the rule assign that class to this value of the predictor
    Calculate the total error of the rules of each predictor
    Choose the predictor with the smallest total error.
    Simply, the total error calculated from the frequency tables is the measure of each predictor contribution. A low
    total error means a higher contribution to the predictability of the model.

    When we compare the ZeroR and OneR algorithms; ZeroR classifier simply predicts the majority category,
    OneR generates one rule for each predictor in the data, then selects the rule with the smallest total error. OneR
    model is better than ZeroR model for prediction therefore OneR will have better accuracy.
