Özet

This study investigates the effectiveness of advanced computational intelligence techniques in detecting adverse events in Afghanistan. The study first applies feature reduction techniques to identify significant variables. Then it uses five cost-sensitive classification methods. Finally, the study reports the resulting classification accuracy rates and areas under the receiver operating characteristics charts for adverse events for each method for the entire country and its seven regions. It appears that when analysis is performed for the entire country, there is little correlation between adverse events and project types and the number of projects. However, the same type of analysis performed for each of its seven regions shows a connection between adverse events and the infrastructure budget and the number of projects allocated for the specific regions and times. Among the five classifiers, the C4.5 decision tree and k-nearest neighbor seem to be the best in terms of global performance.
