Summary:
Needs of feature selection in medium and large problems increases in many fields including medical and image processing fields. Previous comparative studies of feature selection algorithms are not satisfactory in problem size and in criterion function. In addition, no way has not shown to compare algorithms with different objectives. In this study, we propose a unified way to compare a large variety of algorithms. Our results show that the sequential floating algorithms promises for up to medium problems and genetic algorithms for medium and large problems.
