Each classi{uFB01}er is usually built for only one type of features either categorical or numerical ones. This study analyzes the handling technique using mid-sized data on several di{uFB00}erent classi{uFB01}ers. It also introduce a number of new techniques like dynamic simplex, catRank, Joint measure and devise the proof for kernelized versions of IOF, OF, Goodall, Lin and overlap measures. A case study on breast cancer prediction is also provided with some recommendation for both medical and machine learning parts. The study reveals an association between classi{uFB01}ers and techniques and provides some recommendation for handling techniques usage UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
