Conclusion
The previous model had accuracy of 0.836 and AUC of 0.787.
- Feature transformation: Normalized numeric data. It resulted in a slight improvement with accuracy of 0.852 and AUC of 0.807.
- Feature transformation: YeoJohnson transformation. This resulted in a slight improvement in accuracy at 0.856, but a decline in AUC at 0.787, therefore, we removed it.
- Feature transformation: Principal component analysis.
- With a threshold of 0.75, resulted in a decline with accuracy at 0.788 and AUC at 0.737.
- With a threshold of 0.99, resulted in a slight decline from the first feature transformation with accuracy of 0.84 but an improvement with AUC of 0.815.
- With 3 components retained, resulted in a significant decline with accuracy of 0.704 and AUC of 0.667.
- We removed step_pca as it did not make an improvement.
