An Overview of the New Feature Selection Methods in Finite Mixture of Regression Models
Variable (feature) selection has attracted much attention in contemporary statistical learning and recent scientific research. This is mainly due to the rapid advancement in modern technology that allows scientists to collect data of unprecedented size and complexity. One type of statistical problem in such applications is concerned with modeling an output variable as a function of a sma...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study on feature selection for Data Classification
In the task of pattern classification features play a very important role. Hence, the selection of suitable features is necessary as most of the raw data might be redundant or irrelevant to the recognition of patterns. In some cases, the classifier cannot perform well because of the large number of redundant features. This paper investigates the performance of different feature selection algori...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Stability of Feature Selection Algorithms
Stability is an important yet under-addressed issue for feature selection from high-dimensional data. In this paper, we investigate two causes of instability of feature selection: small sample size and elimination of redundant features. We propose a general stability measure which takes into account feature correlation when assessing the similarity of two feature subsets or two sets of feature ...
متن کاملAn Empirical Study of Feature Set Selection for Text Chunking
This paper presents an empirical study for improving the performance of text chunking. We focus on two issues: the problem of selecting feature spaces, and the problem of alleviating the data sparseness. To select a proper feature space, we use a heuristic and exhaustive method of evaluating the performance of models under various feature spaces. Besides, for smoothing the data sparseness, we s...
متن کاملEmpirical evaluation of feature selection methods in classification
In the paper, we present an empirical evaluation of five feature selection methods: ReliefF, random forest feature selector, sequential forward selection, sequential backward selection, and Gini index. Among the evaluated methods, the random forest feature selector has not yet been widely compared to the other methods. In our evaluation, we test how the implemented feature selection can affect ...
