“…Second, in the testing phase, obtained predictive model process the properties of unknown data and predict whether it is malware or benign. The popular machine learning techniques among the researchers for the detection of second generation malware are Naive Bayes (Sharma, Sahay, & Kumar, ) (Shabtai, Kanonov, Elovici, Glezer, & Weiss, ), Decision Tree (Sharma & Sahay, ), Data Mining (Santos, Brezo, Ugarte‐Pedrero, & Bringas, ), Neural Networks (Dahl, Stokes, Deng, & Yu, ), Hidden Markov Models (Raghavan, ), Deep Learning (Tobiyama, Yamaguchi, Shimada, Ikuse, & Yagi, ), etc.…”
