Abstract

In this work, we present some significant improvements for for feature selection in wrapper methods. They are two: the first of them consists in a proper preordering of the feature set; and the second one consists in the application of an irrelevant feature elimination method, where the irrelevance condition is subjected to the partial selected feature subset by the wrapper method. We validate these approaches with the Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma subtype classification problem and we show that these two changes are an important improvement in the computation cost and the classification accuracy of these wrapper methods in this domain.
