Feature selection considering two types of feature relevancy and feature interdependency

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel feature selection method is proposed based on information theory.

• Our method divides feature relevancy into two categories.

• We performed experiments over 12 public data sets.

• Our method outperforms five competing methods in terms of accuracy.

• Our method selects few number of features when it achieves the highest accuracy.
