Design of novel multi filter union feature selection framework for breast cancer dataset

Abstract

Nowadays women are commonly diagnosed with breast cancer. Feature based Selection method plays an important step while constructing a classification based framework. We have proposed Multi filter union (MFU) feature selection method for breast cancer data set. The feature selection process based on random forest algorithm and Logistic regression (LG) algorithm based union model is used for selecting important features in the dataset. The performance of the data analysis is evaluated using optimal features subset from selected dataset. The experiments are computed with data set of Wisconsin diagnostic breast cancer center and next the real data set from women health care center. The result of the proposed approach shows high performance and efficient when comparing with existing feature selection algorithms.
