In-Depth Information
Apart from the presentation of the main software tool, three other complementary
aspects of KEEL have been also described:
KEEL-dataset, a data set repository that includes the data set partitions in the
KEEL format and shows some results obtained in these data sets. This repository
can free researchers from merely “technical work” and facilitate the comparison
of their models with the existing ones.
Some basic guidelines that the developer may take into account to facilitate the
implementation and integration of new approaches within the KEEL software tool.
We have shown the simplicity of adding a simple algorithm (SGERD in this case)
into the KEEL software with the aid of a Java template specifically designed for
this purpose. In this manner, the developer only has to focus on the inner functions
of their algorithm itself and not on the specific requirements of the KEEL tool.
A module of statistical procedures which let researchers contrast the results
obtained in any experimental study using statistical tests. This task, which may not
be trivial, has become necessary to confirm when a new proposed method offers a
significant improvement over the existing methods for a given problem.
