: We present results from a case study comparing different classification methods, using as input a set of Monte Carlo data, generated and approximately triggered and preprocessed for an imaging gammaray Cherenkov telescope. Such data belong to two classes, originating either from incident gamma rays or caused by hadronic showers. There is a weak discrimination between signal (gamma) and background (hadrons), and thus the data provide an excellent proving ground for classification techniques. The data are briefly described, the methods are presented, and a comparison of the results is made. Several methods give results comparable within small fluctuations, suggesting that they perform at or close to the Bayesian limit of achievable separation. Other methods give clearly inferior or inconclusive results. Some problems that this study can not address are also discussed.
