Improved multiclass feature selection via list combination

作者:

Highlights:

• We introduce new SVM-RFE feature selection methods for multiclass problems.

• We use binary decomposition followed by strategies to combine lists of features.

• We discuss statistical approaches and voting theory methods.

• One-vs-One methods give better results than One-vs-All methods.

• The new K-First method is the more effective in selecting relevant features.
