Abstract
Performance of machine classification is greatly affected by the selection of features and in medical field, accumulating data is a costly aspect. Even there is an increasing overfitting risk when no. of observations is insufficient and need for significant computation time when no. of features is more. Hence, it would be better if machines could extract most informative features i.e. medically highrisk factors to reduce the cost overhead on patients. Feature Selection is essential for simpler, faster, more reliable and robust machine learning models. Since wrapper-based methods are computationally expensive and filter-based methods are quicker, the authors claim through experimentation that filter based feature selection methods followed by wrapper can considerably reduce the size of feature set as well as enhance accuracy of prediction models onto high dimensional datasets without having to increase the number of instances. Results have been demonstrated on Arrythmia dataset from UCI Machine Learning Repository with 280 features and Z-Alizahdehsani dataset with 55 features.
