Dietterich: approximate tests for comparing classification algorithms

Contribution grade

Evaluation, safety and interpretability · EMPIRICAL

Reference score90,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Compared five tests and introduced/evaluated the 5x2 cross-validation paired test.

Scientific scope

The record is Dietterich's sole-author 1998 Neural Computation article. Recommendations are bounded to its simulation settings and computational-cost cases; it does not replace later corrected resampling methods or establish a universal test for every machine-learning comparison.
