Class-specific mutual information variation for feature selection
作者:
Highlights:
• A novel feature selection method is proposed based on information theory.
• A new term calculating dynamic information of selected features is proposed.
• We redefine the feature relevancy.
• We implement experiments on 20 benchmark data sets.
• Our method outperforms seven competing methods in terms of accuracy.
