Abstract

A metaclassifier is a technique that integrates multiple base classifiers. In this paper a hybrid meta-classifier algorithm based on generative and non-generative methods is proposed. Five well-know strong classifiers are used for the non-generative method and bagging was used for generative method. The performances of the five base classifiers, their ensembles based on bagging, and the proposed hybrid metaclassifier are compared using classification error rates. Eight different datasets coming from the UCI Machine Learning database repository are used in the experiments.
