A Novel Feature Selection Method for Classification Using a Fuzzy Criterion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although many classification methods take advantage of fuzzy sets theory, the same cannot be said for feature reduction methods. In this paper we explore ideas related to the use of fuzzy sets and we propose a novel fuzzy feature selection method tailored for the Regularized Generalized Eigenvalue Classifier (ReGEC). The method provides small and robust subsets of features that can be used for supervised classification. We show, using real world datasets that the performance of ReGEC classifier on the selected features well compares with that obtained using them all.

A Novel Approach to Feature Selection Using PageRank algorithm for Web Page Classification
In this paper, a novel filter-based approach is proposed using the PageRank algorithm to select the optimal subset of features as well as to compute their weights for web page classification. To evaluate the proposed approach multiple experiments are performed using accuracy score as the main criterion on four different datasets, namely WebKB, Reuters-R8, Reuters-R52, and 20NewsGroups. By analy...
متن کاملA novel method based on a combination of deep learning algorithm and fuzzy intelligent functions in order to classification of power quality disturbances in power systems
Automatic classification of power quality disturbances is the foundation to deal with power quality problem. From the traditional point of view, the identification process of power quality disturbances should be divided into three independent stages: signal analysis, feature selection and classification. However, there are some inherent defects in signal analysis and the procedure of manual fe...
متن کاملA New Framework for Distributed Multivariate Feature Selection
Feature selection is considered as an important issue in classification domain. Selecting a good feature through maximum relevance criterion to class label and minimum redundancy among features affect improving the classification accuracy. However, most current feature selection algorithms just work with the centralized methods. In this paper, we suggest a distributed version of the mRMR featu...
متن کاملImproving Chernoff criterion for classification by using the filled function
Linear discriminant analysis is a well-known matrix-based dimensionality reduction method. It is a supervised feature extraction method used in two-class classification problems. However, it is incapable of dealing with data in which classes have unequal covariance matrices. Taking this issue, the Chernoff distance is an appropriate criterion to measure distances between distributions. In the p...
