• Bootstrap tests improve ANOVA or Friedman when comparing multiple classifiers.
• Interval-valued tests improve nonparametric tests for stochastic algorithms.
• Friedman and Bootstrap tests produce different conclusions for certain ML tasks.
A new bootstrap test is introduced that allows for assessing the significance of the differences between stochastic algorithms in a cross-validation with repeated folds experimental setup. Intervals are used for modeling the variability of the data that can be attributed to the repetition of learning and testing stages over the same folds in cross validation. Numerical experiments are provided that support the following three claims: (1) Bootstrap tests can be more powerful than ANOVA or Friedman test for comparing multiple classifiers. (2) In the presence of outliers, interval-valued bootstrap tests achieve a better discrimination between stochastic algorithms than nonparametric tests. (3) Choosing ANOVA, Friedman or Bootstrap can produce different conclusions in experiments involving actual data from machine learning tasks.
