Analysis of road accidents in India using data mining classification algorithms

Classification is a model finding process which is used for segmenting the data into different classes based on some constraints. This work analyzes the road accidents in India data set using classification algorithms namely linear regression, logistic regression, decision tree, SVM, Naïve Bayes, KNN, Random Forest and gradient boosting algorithm. Performance measures used are accuracy, error rate and execution time. This analysis is done in R data mining tool. The performance of KNN is better than other algorithms.
