For a complex multi-class problem normally the classifiers are constructed by combining the outputs of several binary ones. In this paper, we use the basic methods of decomposition; one per class (OPC) and Error Correcting Output Code (ECOC) with FCLA, binary to binary mapping algorithm as a base binary learner. The methods have been tested on Fisher’s well-known Iris data set and experimental results show that the classification ability is improved by using ECOC method.}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
