Discriminant Analysis can best be defined as a technique which allows the classification of an individual into several dictinctive populations on the basis of a set of measurements. Stepwise discriminant analysis (SDA) is concerned with selecting the most important variables whilst retaining the highest discrimination power possible. The process of selecting a smaller number of variables is often necessary for a variety number of reasons. In the existing statistical software packages SDA is based on the classic feature selection methods. Many problems with such stepwise procedures have been identified. In this work the new method based on the metaheuristic strategy tabu search will be presented together with the experimental results conducted on the selected benchmark datasets. The results are promising.

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDSs) have become an important security tool for managing risk and an indispensable part of overall security architecture. An IDS is considered as a pattern recognition system, in which feature extraction is an important pre-processing step. The feature extraction process consists of feature construction and feature selection . The quality of the feature construction and feature selection algorithms is one of the most important factors that affects the effectiveness of an IDS. Achieving reduction of the number of relevant traffic features without negative effect on classification accuracy is a goal that largely improves the overall effectiveness of the IDS. Most of the feature construction as well as feature selection works in intrusion detection practice is still carried through manually by utilizing domain knowledge. For automatic feature construction and feature selection, the filter, wrapper, and embedded methods from machine learning are frequently applied. This chapter provides an overview of various existing feature construction and feature selection methods for intrusion detection systems. A comparison between those feature selection methods is performed in the experimental part.

Efficient classification and feature extraction techniques pave an effective way for diagnosing cancers from microarray datasets. It has been observed that the conventional classification techniques have major limitations in discriminating the genes accurately. However, such kind of problems can be addressed by an ensemble technique to a great extent. In this paper, a hybrid RotBagg ensemble framework has been proposed to address the problem specified above. This technique is an integration of Rotation Forest and Bagging ensemble which in turn preserves the basic characteristics of ensemble architecture i.e., diversity and accuracy. Three different feature selection techniques are employed to select subsets of genes to improve the effectiveness and generalization of the RotBagg ensemble. The efficiency is validated through five microarray datasets and also compared with the results of base learners. The experimental results show that the correlation based FRFR with PCA-based RotBagg ensemble form a highly efficient classification model.

PurposeOne of the main reasons for increase in mortality rate in woman is breast cancer. Accurate early detection of breast cancer seems to be the only solution for diagnosis. In the field of breast cancer research, many new computer-aided diagnosis systems have been developed to reduce the diagnostic test false positives because of the subtle appearance of breast cancer tissues. The purpose of this study is to develop the diagnosis technique for breast cancer using LCFS and TreeHiCARe classifier model.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed diagnosis methodology initiates with the pre-processing procedure. Subsequently, feature extraction is performed. In feature extraction, the image features which preserve the characteristics of the breast tissues are extracted. Consequently, feature selection is performed by the proposed least-mean-square (LMS)-Cuckoo search feature selection (LCFS) algorithm. The feature selection from the vast range of the features extracted from the images is performed with the help of the optimal cut point provided by the LCS algorithm. Then, the image transaction database table is developed using the keywords of the training images and feature vectors. The transaction resembles the itemset and the association rules are generated from the transaction representation based ona priorialgorithm with high conviction ratio and lift. After association rule generation, the proposed TreeHiCARe classifier model emanates in the diagnosis methodology. In TreeHICARe classifier, a new feature index is developed for the selection of a central feature for the decision tree centered on which the classification of images into normal or abnormal is performed.FindingsThe performance of the proposed method is validated over existing works using accuracy, sensitivity and specificity measures. The experimentation of proposed method on Mammographic Image Analysis Society database resulted in classification of normal and abnormal cancerous mammogram images with an accuracy of 0.8289, sensitivity of 0.9333 and specificity of 0.7273.Originality/valueThis paper proposes a new approach for the breast cancer diagnosis system by using mammogram images. The proposed method uses two new algorithms: LCFS and TreeHiCARe. LCFS is used to select optimal feature split points, and TreeHiCARe is the decision tree classifier model based on association rule agreements.
