Abstract
The purpose of this research was to determine the extent to which a selection of data mining classification techniques (specifically, Discriminant Analysis, Decision Trees, and three artifical neural network models - Backpropogation, Probablilistic Neural Networks, and the Radial Basis Function) are able to correctly classify cases into the different categories of an outcome measure from a given set of input variables (i.e. estimate their classification accuracy) on a common database.
