Online Streaming Feature Selection via Multi-Conditional Independence and Mutual Information Entropy†
Hongyi Wang, Dianlong You
Pages: 479 - 487
The goals of feature selection are to remove redundant and irrelevant features from high-dimensional data, extract the “optimal feature subset” of the original feature space to improve the classification accuracy, and reduce the time complexity.
