Selecting a small set of informative features from large number possibly noisy candidates is challenging problem with many applications in machine learning and approximate Bayesian computation. In practice, the cost computing also needs to be considered. This particularly important for networks because computational costs individual can span several orders magnitude. We addressed this issue net...

background: numerous studies used microarray gene expression data to extract metastasis-driving gene signatures for the prediction of breast cancer relapse. however, the accuracy and generality of the previously introduced biomarkers are not acceptable for reliable usage in independent datasets. this inadequacy is attributed to ignoring gene interactions by simple feature selection methods, due...

Phishing is one of the luring techniques used to exploit personal information. A phishing webpage detection system (PWDS) extracts features to determine whether it is a phishing webpage or not. Selecting appropriate features improves the performance of PWDS. Performance criteria are detection accuracy and system response time. The major time consumed by PWDS arises from feature extraction that ...

objective(s): this study addresses feature selection for breast cancer diagnosis. the present process uses a wrapper approach using ga-based on feature selection and ps-classifier. the results of experiment show that the proposed model is comparable to the other models on wisconsin breast cancer datasets. materials and methods: to evaluate effectiveness of proposed feature selection method, we ...

Machine learning-based classification techniques provide support for the decision making process in the field of healthcare, especially in disease diagnosis, prognosis and screening. Healthcare datasets are voluminous in nature and their high dimensionality problem comprises in terms of slower learning rate and higher computational cost. Feature selection is expected to deal with the high dimen...

background: myocardial infarction (mi) occurs due to heart muscle death that costs like human life, which is higher than the treatment costs. this study aimed to present an mi prediction model using classification data mining methods, which consider the imbalance nature of the problem. methods: we enrolled 455 healthy and 295 myocardial infarction cases of visitors to shahid madani specialized ...

In this paper, principles and existing feature selection methods for classifying and clustering data be introduced. To that end, categorizing frameworks for finding selected subsets, namely, search-based and non-search based procedures as well as evaluation criteria and data mining tasks are discussed. In the following, a platform is developed as an intermediate step toward developing an intell...
