Popis: The challenge of analyzing microarray datasets is significantly compounded by the curse of dimensionality and the complexity of feature interactions. Addressing this, we propose a novel feature selection algorithm based on maximum conditional mutual information (MCMI) to identify a minimal feature subset that is maximally relevant and non-redundant. This algorithm leverages a greedy search strategy, prioritizing both feature quality and classification performance. Experimental results on high-dimensional microarray datasets demonstrate our algorithm’s superior ability to reduce dimensionality, eliminate redundancy, and enhance classification accuracy. Compared to existing filter feature selection methods, our approach exhibits higher adaptability and intelligence.
