Abstract: In this paper, we research the influence of data preprocessing. We conclude that using different preprocessing methods leads to different classification performances. Moreover, not all data preprocessing methods are necessary, and a criterion is given to make sure which data preprocessing is necessary and which one is effective. Experiments on some real-world data sets validate that different data preprocessing methods result in different effects. Furthermore, experiments about some algorithms with different preprocessing methods also confirm that preprocessing has a great influence on the performance of a classifier.
