Feature selection in functional data classification with recursive maxima hunting
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dimensionality reduction is one of the key issues in the design of effective machine learning methods for automatic induction. In this work, we introduce recursive maxima hunting (RMH) for variable selection in classification problems with functional data. In this context, variable selection techniques are especially attractive because they reduce the dimensionality, facilitate the interpretation and can improve the accuracy of the predictive models. The method, which is a recursive extension of maxima hunting (MH), performs variable selection by identifying the maxima of a relevance function, which measures the strength of the correlation of the predictor functional variable with the class label. At each stage, the information associated with the selected variable is removed by subtracting the conditional expectation of the process. The results of an extensive empirical evaluation are used to illustrate that, in the problems investigated, RMH has comparable or higher predictive accuracy than standard dimensionality reduction techniques, such as PCA and PLS, and state-of-the-art feature selection methods for functional data, such as maxima hunting.

Variable selection in functional data classification: a maxima hunting proposal
Variable selection is considered in the setting of supervised binary classification with functional data {X(t), t ∈ [0, 1]}. By “variable selection” we mean any dimensionreduction method which leads to replace the whole trajectory {X(t), t ∈ [0, 1]}, with a low-dimensional vector (X(t1), . . . , X(td)) still keeping a similar classification error. Our proposal for variable selection is based on...
متن کاملFeature selection using genetic algorithm for classification of schizophrenia using fMRI data
In this paper we propose a new method for classification of subjects into schizophrenia and control groups using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. In the preprocessing step, the number of fMRI time points is reduced using principal component analysis (PCA). Then, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for further data analysis. It estimates independent components (ICs) of...

Introduction: Mental arithmetic analysis based on Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal for monitoring the state of the user’s brain functioning can be helpful for understanding some psychological disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, or dyscalculia where the difficulty in learning or understanding the arithmetic exists. Most mental arithmetic recogni...
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...
