Filters, Wrappers and a Boosting-Based Hybrid for Feature Selection

چکیده

In this paper, we examine the advantages and disadvantages of filter and wrapper methods for feature selection and propose a new hybrid algorithm that uses boosting and incorporates some of the features of wrapper methods into a fast filter method for feature selection. Empirical results are reported on six real-world datasets from the UCI repository, showing that our hybrid algorithm is competitive with wrapper methods while being much faster, and scales well to datasets with thousands of features.

A Novel Hybrid Feature Selection Method Based on IFSFFS and SVM for the Diagnosis of Erythemato-Squamous Diseases

This paper developed a diagnosis model based on Support Vector Machines (SVM) with a novel hybrid feature selection method to diagnose erythemato-squamous diseases. Our hybrid feature selection method, named IFSFFS (Improved F -score and Sequential Forward Floating Search), combines the advantages of filters and wrappers to select the optimal feature subset from the original feature set. In our...

A Hybrid Feature Selection Method based on IGSBFS and Na�e Bayes for the Diagnosis of Erythemato - Squamous Diseases

In this paper a diagnostic model based on Naive Bayes developed to diagnose erytemato squamous diseases. The hybrid feature selection method, named IGSBFS (Information Gain and Sequential Backward Floating Search), combines the advantages of filters and wrappers to select the optimal feature subset from the original feature set. In IGSBFS, Information Gain acts as filters to remove redundant fe...

A New Hybrid Framework for Filter based Feature Selection using Information Gain and Symmetric Uncertainty (TECHNICAL NOTE)

Feature selection is a pre-processing technique used for eliminating the irrelevant and redundant features which results in enhancing the performance of the classifiers. When a dataset contains more irrelevant and redundant features, it fails to increase the accuracy and also reduces the performance of the classifiers. To avoid them, this paper presents a new hybrid feature selection method usi...

A Comprehensive Comparison on Evolutionary Feature Selection Approaches to Classification

Feature selection is an important data preprocessing step in machine learning and data mining, such as classification tasks. Research on feature selection has been extensively conducted for more than fifty years and different types of approaches have been proposed, which include wrapper approaches or filter approaches, and single objective approaches or multi-objective approaches. However, the ...

A Novel SVM based CSSFFS Feature Selection Algorithm for Detecting Breast Cancer

In this paper a feature selection algorithm CSSFFS (Constrained search sequential floating forward search) based on SVM is proposed for detecting breast cancer. It is a greedy algorithm with search strategy of constrained search. The aim of this algorithm is to achieve a feature subset with minimal BER (Balanced error rate). This is a hybrid algorithm with the combination of filters and wrapper...
