Floating search methods in feature selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sequential search methods characterized by a dynamically changing number of features included or eliminated at each step, henceforth "floating" methods, are presented. They are shown to give very good results and to be computationally more effective than the branch and bound method.

Fast SFFS-Based Algorithm for Feature Selection in Biomedical Datasets
Biomedical datasets usually include a large number of features relative to the number of samples. However, some data dimensions may be less relevant or even irrelevant to the output class. Selection of an optimal subset of features is critical, not only to reduce the processing cost but also to improve the classification results. To this end, this paper presents a hybrid method of filter and wr...
