model specifically designed for the localization problem, the k nearest neighbors classitier, the binary decision tree classifier, and the naive Bayes classifier. The result of tests using stratified
cross validation shows the k nearest neighbors classifier to perform better than the other methods. In the
case of yeast this difference was statistically significant using a cross-validated paired t test. The result is an
accuracy of approximately 60°/o for 10 yeast classes and 86% for 8 E.coli classes. The best previously reported
accuracies for these datasets were 55% and 81% respectively.
