Abstract

In this paper, a new feature subset selection approach is introduced. The proposed approach consists of two phases. In the first phase, we tried to reduce the run time order of the algorithm which is critical for high dimensional datasets. In this phase, first entire dataset is classified and according to silhouette value, the best number of clusters in the dataset is found. Using this value, second, each feature is classified alone with the same cluster number and proposed entropy fuzzy measures for them are calculated. In the second phase, it is tried to find a feature subset that meets the boundaries to get a high accuracy degree. The proposed method is examined on different datasets. The examination results show that the proposed method leans to find and select the minimum number of features with negligible removing final classification accuracy, among different feature subset selection methods.
