In real-world databases sometimes one of the classes is more difficult to classify then the others. This can happen, for instance, when one of the class is much bigger than the other. To cope with this problem, this paper proposes to assign specific weights to each class in the model evaluation criterion of the feature selection algorithm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
