“…The proposed method is compared with well-known feature selection algorithms such as chi-square (CHI), information gain (IG) and correlation feature selection (CFS), and some recent feature selection methods that involve metaheuristics including harmony search and stochastic search algorithms for feature selection (Nekkaa and Boughaci, 2015), a binary ABC with DE operators (Hancer et. al, 2015), a novel system for feature selection based on gravitational search (Xiang et. al, 2015), an unsupervised feature selection method based on improved version of DE (Bhadra and Bandyopadhyay, 2015), the relevance-redundancy filter method based on ACO for feature selection (Tabakhi and Moradi, 2015), as well as standard ABC and DE algorithms.…”
