Abstract Multi-category classification methods were used to detect SNP-mortality associations in broilers. The objective was to select a subset of whole genome SNPs associated with chick mortality. This was done by categorizing mortality rates and using a filter-wrapper feature selection procedure in each of the classification methods evaluated. Different numbers of categories 2 3 4 5 and 10 and three classification algorithms naive Bayes classifiers Bayesian networks and neural networks were compared using early and late chick mortality rates in low and high hygiene environments. Evaluation of SNPs selected by each classification method was done by predicted residual sum of squares and a significance test-related metric. A naive Bayes classifier coupled with discretization into two or three categories .
