How To Estimate A Baseline Performance For Your Machine Learning Models in Weka

Last Updated on December 13, 2019

It is really important to have a performance baseline on your machine learning problem.

It will give you a point of reference to which you can compare all other models that you construct.

In this post you will discover how to develop a baseline of performance for a machine learning problem using Weka.

After reading this post you will know:

  • The importance in establishing a baseline of performance for your machine learning problem.
  • How to calculate a baseline performance using the Zero Rule method on a regression problem.
  • How to calculate a baseline performance using the Zero Rule method on a classification problem.

Kick-start your project with my new book Machine Learning Mastery With Weka, including step-by-step tutorials and clear screenshots for all examples.

Let’s get started.
