Features Selection for Supervised Learning Using Centrality Measures
Abstract
The data mining methods have been extensively used in the process of decision making. The popularity of data mining methods is due to availability of high speed algorithms, processing and storage power of computers. The effective use of data mining methods help in mining datasets and taking better decisions. The data need to be preprocessed before applying data mining methods. Some datasets require little preparation like dealing with missing and redundant instances while some highdimensional datasets require strong processing like dimensionality reduction. One of the techniques used for dimensionality reduction is feature selection. This study uses graph based
centrality measure for feature selection. Graph based centrality measures are used for ranking features which is used for removing irrelevant attributes. After comparison of results with other approaches, it has been found that the proposed approach results in reduction of feature space without compromising accuracy. The results also shows that proposed approach performs better than some other feature selection approaches not only in terms of accuracy but also on the basis of larger reduction in feature space.
