Popis: Feature selection is one of the most important data preprocessing techniques in data mining and machine learning. A new feature selection method based on density peak clustering is proposed. The new method applies an information distance between features as clustering distance metric, and uses the density peak clustering method for feature clustering. The representative feature of each cluster is selected to generate the final result. The method can avoid selecting the irrelevant representative feature from one cluster, where most features are irrelevant to class label. The comparison experiments on ten datasets show that the feature selection results of the proposed method exhibit improved classification accuracies for different classifiers.
