Results comparison across regression-model and classifier-model combinations reported in the results section and Table 2, where the best MSE/MAE combination is shown in bold. The article reports SVM regressors "consistently outperformed other regressors"; no effect size is printed.

"SVM based regressors consistently outperformed other regressors especially when coupled with either decision tree or random forest classifiers suggesting effective capture of temporal dependencies and enhanced predictive stability."
