Table 2 Weighted area under ROC curve for different feature selection and classifier induction methods showed J48 with significance-based feature selection as the one of the best performing and immune to overfitting modeling approaches. Significance filter was chosen to be preferable based on the highest average across multiple feature selection methods. J48 has been chosen as the best method based on the highest average across all methods
