A comparative analysis of the performance of hybrid and non-hybrid multi-classifier systems

This paper investigates the performance of some multi-classifier systems, focusing on the benefits that can be gained when integrating different types of classifiers (hybrid multi-classifier systems). An empirical evaluation shows that the integration of different types of classifiers can lead to an improvement in performance in some practical classification tasks.
