For decision making procedure, Data mining is a very
favorable and constructive method. Classification is a very
simple and mostly used data mining technique. Knowledge of CLASSIFICATION

This approach is of machine learning approach which is It is flexible, easy to use a supervised algorithm of
used for classification and regression analysis. But most of the classification. As per its name, this algorithm creates forest

data can be analyzed to find hidden patterns from them. robust the forest which indicates the high accuracy results. In
simple word, we can say that there are multiple decision trees
built by this algorithm which can be merged together to get
more stable and accurate prediction for result.

usually referred to the best accuracy model. The graphical
representation in Figure 4 shows that the best classifier of
students' performance based on their dataset is the Multilayer
Perceptron classifiers. In the result, Multilayer Perceptron has
an efficient classification among other classifiers.
Table I. shows the performance accuracy of the five
classifiers based on different classification metrics. These
metrics are; (TP), (FP), Precision, Recall and F-measure
measure are very important to determine the classifiers based
on the accuracy. These metrics shows that Multilayer
Perceptron classifier performs better than other classifiers.
