Classification Library

I need to test various famous classification methods like kNN, ID3 and ... on a huge data-set of a project, and choose one for future use.

I have no limitation on language but performance and readable code both in learning and classification phase are ver开发者_运维百科y important.

therefore, I'm looking for a good library with following features:

• includes various classification methods
• high performance
• easily usable

any suggestions?

You shuold take a look at PyBrain, a great machine learning module for Python. Can't tell you much about it, because I never really used it (just read about it and looked at several projects solved with it), but it seems to be very good.

You may also want to take a look at this list of Python machine learning modules: http://web.media.mit.edu/~stefie10/technical/pythonml.html

Or at this SO question: Is there a recommended package for machine learning in Python?

Try scikit learn - it is written in python and has variety classifiers and also metods for testing them.

Take a look at RapidMiner which comes with a Java-API and graphical tools for data mining. The community edition is free, I think.

I used the predecessor of this tool/library as a student but do not have professional experience with it, though.
