Title: Feature selection algorithm based on Catastrophe model to improve the performance of regression analysis,
Abstract: In this paper we introduce a new feature selection algorithm to remove the
irrelevant or redundant features in the data sets. In this algorithm the
importance of a feature is based on its fitting to the Catastrophe model.
Akaike information crite- rion value is used for ranking the features in the
data set. The proposed algorithm is compared with well-known RELIEF feature
selection algorithm. Breast Cancer, Parkinson Telemonitoring data and Slice
locality data sets are used to evaluate the model.
