Abstract

Feature selection has been applied in several areas of science and engineering for a long time. This kind of pre-processing is almost mandatory in problems with huge amounts of features which requires a very high computational cost and also may be handicapped very frequently with more than two classes and lot of instances. The general taxonomy clearly divides the approaches into two groups such as filters and wrappers. This paper introduces a methodology to refine the feature subset with an additional feature selection approach. It reviews the possibilities and deepens into a new class of algorithms based on a refinement of an initial search with another method. We apply sequentially an approximate procedure and an exact procedure. The research is supported by empirical results and some guidelines are drawn as conclusions of this paper.
