Zero Rule

Algorithm

Zero Rule or ZeroR is the benchmark procedure for classification algorithms whose output is simply the most frequently occurring classification in a set of data. If 65% of data items have that classification, ZeroR would presume that all data items have it and would be right 65% of the time.

ZeroR is a simple and effective benchmark: if an algorithm correctly predicts classifications less frequently than ZeroR, it is obviously of no value for the domain in question!
