hi everyone, 
   I was asked to use RapidMiner predictive processes such as DT, KNN, Naive Bay for hold out classification, cross-validation, and stacking and voting. 

In the report, I was asked to explain '' why classification and not estimation and what this would mean in the business context ? )

    Well, this depends on your business context. My tip would be to think about how the additional information of estimation helps you. If it does not help you, then why go for something harder?

    Best,
