Abstract

This paper shows the comparison between several well-known classification algorithms in Machine Learning with the purpose to find the most suitable algorithm to predict the dwelling time i.e., how long a certain tourist should stay in a particular tourist spot. This dwelling time prediction can be adopted for tour and travel agents to provide optimal scheduling for their package tour. The algorithm in question is strictly for classification because in this case, the dwelling time does not require a very specific number of minutes, thus the time can be classified and restricted into several time frames. The origin and features of the dataset are described in this paper as well as the comparison methodology to show the procedure of how the comparison was made. Lastly, the performance results will be used to determine which algorithm to use for this specific case and it will be shown in a form of a graph
