Metalearning for choosing feature selection algorithms in data mining: Proposal of a new framework

作者:

Highlights:

• A new Metalearning architecture proposal to recommend Feature Selection algorithms.

• FS algorithms are ranked using a new multicriteria performance measure.

• The proposed architecture has low computational cost and is human understandable.

• Evaluation on 150 data sets from literature review and four well-known FS algorithms.

• Accuracy higher than 90% was obtained in the recommendation of FS algorithms.
