The 50/50 partition of sub-training and sub-testing sets could mean that ICET may not work well on small datasets. The smallest dataset of the five we examine here is the Hepatitis dataset, which has 155 cases. The training sets had 103 cases and the testing sets had 52 cases. The sub-training and sub-testing sets had 51 or 52 cases. We can see from Figure 3 that ICET performed slightly better than the other algorithms on this dataset (the difference is not significant).
