In the validation analyzer the accuracy of the validation-best model is calculated. This can lead to an exception when the model produces NaN estimations.

In symbolic regression NaN values are replaced by the upper estimation bound before accuracy metrics are calculated. I recommend a similar scheme for classification.

Calculation or display of the ROC curve is very slow for slightly larger datasets (>2000 samples).

Corrected updating of ClassificationProblemData parameters after data import with r4780.

Replying to gkronber:

Could not reproduce this bug and also checked the source code if !NaN elements are filtered. Could you attach a sample or test againg of the bug still exists.

Corrected SymbolicRegressionSolution to use UpperEstimationLimit instead double.NaN with r4797.

comment:49 follow-up: Changed 13 years ago by gkronber

The order of variables occurring in the target variable drop down box does not match the order of variables in the original dataset. This also has the effect that a random variable is initially selected as the target variable.

comment:50 Changed 13 years ago by gkronber

For binary classification problems the AUC for the two classes, displayed in the legend tooltip in the ROC curve view does not match. Shouldn't the two AUC values be the same when only two classes are available?

comment:51 Changed 13 years ago by gkronber

A demo for classification would be nice.

comment:52 follow-up: Changed 13 years ago by gkronber

Probably the attached file would be a nice demo.

comment:53 follow-up: Changed 13 years ago by gkronber

In the symbolic classification view, the class visibility is reset when the content is set. This is a bit annoying.

The automatic calculation of the separator value for the discriminating function produces strange results (see attached screenshot).

Replying to gkronber:

Please feel free to add this sample to the samples in the optimizer.

Replying to gkronber:

Corrected ordering of valid target variables with r4836.

comment:58 Changed 13 years ago by mkommend

Corrected ValidationBestSymbolicClassificationSolutionAnalyzer with r4837.

comment:59 in reply to: ↑ 53 Changed 13 years ago by mkommend

Replying to gkronber:

In the symbolic classification view, the class visibility is reset when the content is set. This is a bit annoying.

Although this is annoying there is nothing we can do against it, because the view must be reset if a new content is set. There was also a bug in the solution analyzer that got fixed with r4837 and now the best solution is updated correctly and less often => the reset occurs less frequent.

I really don't like the random order of variables in the target variable drop down. Also as soon as there are binary input variables the target variable selection heuristic fails.

However, this is only my subjective opinion and this issue does not necessarily have to be fixed for the 3.3.2 release. (fixed in r4836)

Everything else looks great, thanks for implementing this plugin!

Feel free to release the plugin and close this ticket.
