Optimizing multi-objective PSO based feature selection method using a feature elitism mechanism

作者:

Highlights:

• A multi-objective PSO-based feature selection method called RSPSOFS is proposed.

• RSPSOFS proposes a feature-elitism mechanism based on the frequency of features.

• Problem space information improves the evolutionary process of RSPSOFS.

• Archive refinement and purposeful particles movement are the important achievements.

• Qualitative and quantitative analyses of the results confirm the performance of RFPSOFS.
