Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) developed as a malignant cell cancer in the major regions of lungs thus identified as one of the life-threatening diseases. Many factors constitute to the development of this type of cancer in human lungs in both active or passive form. The major objective of this research paper is to identify the irrelevant factors or symptoms from a high dimensional clinical NSCLC dataset with 31 features using a novel Reverse Feature Elimination Dimensionality Reduction (RFEDR) algorithm designed for identifying worst features through Best Cost ranking technique applied in the dataset. In the initial stage pre-processing, 3 features (Admission-ID, Age and Gender) were removed in three filter stages and Feature Elimination method is applied. At the end of the implementation process with 40 iterations, the line of convergence was obtained Iteration 7 to 27. The best cost was determined to be 1.0042e-26 and the worst features through reverse elimination algorithm was identified as rare Alcohol Intake (Feature 2), Work Threats (Feature-4), Smoking Habit (Feature-9), Cold (Feature-20), Snoring (Feature-22) and Headache (Feature-27) respectively. The research sublimated the importance of eliminating irrelevant features apart from selecting best features for better prediction.
