Hallo Stan,

here are our results concerning your machine learning task. We've compared
C4.5 and our machine learning algorithm. As an attachment you will get the
labeled celtic, fundul and augusta files. These files are compressed with
gzip.

In a pre-processing step we've normalized the data. Class 5 has been
mapped to 4, because it was more convenient.   

We would be very interested in your feedback with respect to our results.
May be there are the original class labels of the three files mentioned
above and we can also compute the accuracies.


Greetings from Chemnitz,
Andreas
