Abstract:

An efficient unsupervised feature selection method based on unsupervised optimal discriminant vector is developed to find the important features without using class labels. Features are ranked according to the feature importance measurement based on unsupervised optimal discriminant vector in the following steps. First, fuzzy Fisher criterion is adopted as objective function to derive the optimal discriminant vector in unsupervised pattern. Second, the feature importance measurement based on elements of unsupervised optimal discriminant vector is defined to determine the importance of each feature. The features with little importance measurement are removed from the feature subset. Experiments on UCI dataset and fault diagnosis are carried out to show that the proposed method is very efficient and able to deliver reliable results.
