Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to confirm the basic assumption that classification models are suitable for solving the problem of data set classifications. We selected four representative models: BaiesNet, NaiveBaies, MultilayerPerceptron, and J48, and applied them to a four-class classification of a specific set of hepatitis C virus data for Egyptian patients. We conducted the study using the WEKA software classification model, developed at Waikato University, New Zealand. Defeat results were obtained. None of the four classes envisaged has been determined reliably. We have described all 16 metrics, which are used to evaluate classification models, listed their characteristics, mutual differences, and the parameter that evaluates each of these metrics. We have presented comparative, tabular values that give each metric for each classification model in a concise form, detailed class accuracy with a table of best and worst metric values, confusion matrices for all four classification models, and a type I and II error table for all four classification models. In addition to the 16 metric classifications, which we described, we listed seven other metrics, which we did not use because we did not have the opportunity to show their application on the selected data set. Metrics were negatively rated selected, standard reliable, classification models. This led to the conclusion that the data in the selected data set should be pre-processed to be reliably classified by the classification model.
