Velocity Bounded Boolean Particle Swarm Optimization for improved feature selection in liver and kidney disease diagnosis

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose VbBoPSO and IVbBoPSO for feature selection problem.

• In VbBoPSO, a new parameter Vmin is introduced to explore more regions in the search space.

• In the IVbBoPSO, stagnation is resolved, if exists.

• The scalability of VbBoPSO and IVbBoPSO is superior to BPSO and Boolean PSO.

• Elite features selected are more suitable to classify liver and kidney diseases.
