Accurate multi-criteria decision making methodology for recommending machine learning algorithm

作者:

Highlights:

• A multi-criteria decision making methodology is proposed to select best classifier.

• NGT-based method is adapted to choose suitable classifier's evaluation metrics.

• Accuracy, time complexity and consistency based new ranking criteria is designed.

• AHP-based method is adapted to estimate relative weights for evaluation metrics.

• Classifiers are ranked based on relative closeness score, computed using TOPSIS.
