This paper experimentally compares the performance of discriminative and generative classifiers for cost sensitive learning. There is some evidence that learning a discriminative classifier is more effective for a traditional classification task. This paper explores the advantages, and disadvantages, of using a generative classifier when the misclassification costs, and class frequencies, are not fixed. The paper details experiments built around commonly used algorithms modified to be cost sensitive. This allows a clear comparison to the same algorithm used to produce a discriminative classifier. The paper compares the performance of these different variants over multiple data sets and for the full range of misclassification costs and class...
