Instead of using the result of a non-destructivetesting technique as input variables, classifiers are trained directly with therelevant welding parameters, i.e. welding current, welding time and the type ofelectrode (electrode material and treatment). The algorithms are compared interms of accuracy and area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve metrics, using nested cross-validation. Results show that although there is not a dominant classifier for every specificity/sensitivity requirement, support vector machines using radial kernel, boosting and random forest techniques obtain the best performance overall PB Maney Publishing SN 1362-1718 YR 2015 FD 2015-11 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3928 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10259/3928 LA eng NO Spanish MICINN Project CSD2010-00034 (SimulPast CONSOLIDER-INGENIO 2010) and by the Junta de Castilla y León GREX251-2009 DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Burgos RD 20-abr-2024
