Abstract | Feature selection is the method that used to reduce the redundant features. In this study, the methodology consists of several stages that are related to one another. Genetic Algorithm is applied as a feature selection procedure. Many of statistic knowledge are used to create new fitness functions and new classification procedures. The new fitness functions are based on coefficient of determination and partial correlation coefficient. The new classification procedures are based on Linear Regression Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis. The aim of this work is to make proposed feature selection procedure generate the better results, both remaining features and predicted accuracy, than the prior methods. And the learning period can be shortened. Finally, GA with Linear Discriminant and two proposed fitness functions can generate the better results. |
