Abstract: Accurate resource yield prediction is critical for military logistics, planning, and operational readiness, yet remains challenging due to numerous influencing factors such as environmental conditions, resource quality, and logistical constraints. This study examines the effectiveness of quantile-based data binning on classical machine learning algorithms in predicting resource yields pertinent to military applications. Furthermore, the effectiveness of Backpropagation Artificial Neural Networks (BP-ANN) and Naive Bayes classifiers with regression models such as K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Linear Regression, and Multi-Layer Perceptron Regressors (MLPRegressor) are compared using a robust dataset representative of global resource metrics. The results indicate that binning continuous data into quartiles substantially enhances model accuracy, precision, recall, and computational efficiency. In particular, the binned data enables the BP-ANN to achieve an accuracy of approximately 90.4%, with regression models such as KNN and MLPRegressor outperforming this benchmark by attaining accuracies exceeding 93%. Additionally, binning drastically reduced hyperparameter tuning duration from around 149 minutes to less than 10 minutes, underscoring its computational efficiency advantage. Overall, this research demonstrates that quantile-based data binning is a valuable preprocessing technique that improves predictive accuracy, reduces computational cost, and enhances the reliability of classical machine learning models for military resource forecasting.
