All three, with their best hyperparameters, got accuracies near 70%, with similar patterns in their confusion matrices. I conclude that with the current data set, it may not be possible to create a better multiclass classifier. Classes 2 & 3 have very similar features for this data set, as do classes 4 & 5. I would suggest to the researchers to take more measurements, or summarize their time series differently. +I tried three quite different methods on the multiclass classification problem, spending some significant time tuning each of them.

More attention to the feature engineering and to hyperparameter optimization would improve the scores. ## Deployment and testing
