Abstract

A new ensemble approach for Feature Selection is presented, aggregating the feature rankings extracted from the hypotheses extracted along independent runs with evolutionary learning. A statistical model is devised to enable the direct evaluation of the approach; comparative experimental results show its good behavior on non-linear concepts when the features outnumber the examples.
