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.
