作者:

Highlights:

• To develop a cost-effective feature selection model that can achieve acceptable classification accuracy with a significantly reduced cost.

• To formulate a robust counterpart of the cost-effective feature selection model that can address the uncertainty of feature costs.

• To develop a heuristic algorithm to improve computational efficiency by tightening the bound of an integer budget constraint.

• To validate the effectiveness of the proposed models and heuristic algorithm on a variety of benchmark and synthetic datasets.

• To technically review recent cost-based feature selection methods and compare the performances with our proposed cost-effective model.
