A Comparison Between the Performance of Features Selection Techniques: Survey Study
Main Article Content
Abstract
Feature selection is one of the most popular and crucial methods of data processing used in different machine learning and data mining approaches to avoid high dimensionality and increase classification accuracy. Additionally, attribute selection aids in accelerating machine learning algorithms, improving prediction accuracy, data comprehension, decreasing data storage space, and minimizing the computational complexity of learning algorithms. For this reason, several feature selection approaches are used. To determine the essential feature or feature subsets needed to achieve classification objectives, several feature selection techniques have been suggested in the literature. In this research, different widely employed feature selection strategies have been evaluated by using different datasets to see how efficiently these techniques may be applied to achieve high performance of learning algorithms, which improves the classifier's prediction accuracy.
