This study proposes an alternate data extraction method that combines three well-known feature selection methods for handling large and problematic datasets: the correlation-based (CFS), best first search (BFS), dominance-based rough set approach (DRSA) methods. aims to enhance classifier’s performance in decision analysis by eliminating uncorrelated inconsistent values. The proposed method, na...

K nearest neighbor algorithm is one of the most frequently used techniques in data mining for its integrity and performance. Though the KNN algorithm is highly effective in many cases, it has some essential deficiencies, which affects the classification accuracy of the algorithm. First, the effectiveness of the algorithm is affected by redundant and irrelevant features. Furthermore, this algori...

In any mining application for useful information from databases, an increasing number of features (attributes) makes worse results and loses much time. We propose a feature selection technique which saves computation time and does not spoil effect of mining. We take an algorithm called Iterated Contextual Distances (ICD) [1], show its problems for practical applications, and propose a feature s...

We introduce a deterministic sampling based feature selection technique for regularized least squares classification. The method is unsupervised and gives worst-case guarantees of the generalization power of the classification function after feature selection with respect to the classification function obtained using all features. We perform experiments on synthetic and real-world datasets, nam...

This study proposes a novel approach based on multi-objective artificial bee colony (ABC) for feature selection, particularly for intrusion-detection systems. The approach is divided into two stages: generating the feature subsets of the Pareto front of non-dominated solutions in the first stage and using the hybrid ABC and particle swarm optimization (PSO) with a feed-forward neural network (F...

The paper presents a suspicious email detection model which incorporates enhanced feature selection. In the paper we proposed the use of feature selection strategies along with classification technique for terrorists email detection. The presented model focuses on the evaluation of machine learning algorithms such as decision tree (ID3), logistic regression, Naïve Bayes (NB), and Support Vector...

Classification problems have a large number of features in datasets, but not all them are useful for classification. Irrelevant and redundant features reduce the performance. These features may be considered as noisy. In order to solve this problem we perform a feature selection process. It is a preprocessing technique for solving classification problem. Feature Selection aims to choose relevan...

Ensemble learning deals with methods which employ multiple learners to solve a problem The generalization ability of an ensemble is usually significantly better than that of a single learner, so ensemble methods are very attractive, at the same time feature selection process of ensemble technique has important role of classifier. This paper, presents the analysis on classification technique of ...

An EEG feature selection technique for the purpose of classification is developed. The technique selects those features that have maximum mutual information with the specified classes of interest (two classes in this case). Obviously, the simplest way is to consider all possible feature subsets (M out of N). However, even with a small number of features, this procedure is computationally imposs...
