摘要:Feature selection involves identifying a subset of the most useful features that produces compatibleresults as the original entire set of features. A feature selection algorithm may be evaluated from both the efficiency andeffectiveness points of view. While the efficiency concerns the time required to find a subset of features, theeffectiveness is related to the quality of the subset of features. Based on these criteria, a fast clustering-based featureselection algorithm, FAST, is proposed and experimentally evaluated. The FAST algorithm works in two steps. In thefirst step, features are divided into clusters by using graph-theoretic clustering methods. In the second step, the mostrepresentative feature that is strongly related to target classes is selected from each cluster to form a subset of features.
