A Kernel Partial Least Square Based Feature Selection Method
Maximum relevance and minimum redundancy (mRMR) has been well recognised as one of the best feature selection methods. This paper proposes a Kernel Partial Least Square (KPLS) based mRMR method, aiming for easy computation and improving classification accuracy for high-dimensional data. Experiments with this approach have been conducted on seven real-life datasets of varied dimensionality and number of instances, with performance measured on four different classifiers: Naive Bayes, Linear Discriminant Analysis, Random Forest and Support Vector Machine. Experimental results have exhibited the advantage of the proposed method over several competing feature selection techniques
