Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The increased use of digital tools such as smart phones, Internet of Things devices, cameras, and microphones, has led to the produuction of big data. Large data dimensionality, redundancy, and irrelevance are inherent challenging problems when it comes to big data. Feature selection is a necessary process to select the optimal subset of features when addressing such problems. In this paper, the authors propose a novel Binary Coronavirus Disease Optimization Algorithm (BCOVIDOA) for feature selection, where the Coronavirus Disease Optimization Algorithm (COVIDOA) is a new optimization technique that mimics the replication mechanism used by Coronavirus when hijacking human cells. The performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated using twenty-six standard benchmark datasets from UCI Repository. The results are compared with nine recent wrapper feature selection algorithms. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed BCOVIDOA significantly outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of accuracy, best cost, the average cost (AVG), standard deviation (STD), and size of selected features. Additionally, the Wilcoxon rank-sum test is calculated to prove the statistical significance of the results. (C)& nbsp;2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
