Scalability analysis of lter-based methods for feature selection

Researchers in machine learning are now interested not only in accuracy but also in scalability of methods. Although scalability of learning algorithms is a trending issue, scalability of feature selection methods has not received the same amount of attention. In this research, a preliminary attempt to study the scalability of three well-known filterbased feature selection methods will be done. For this sake, several new measures are introduced, based not only in accuracy but also in execution time and stability and the results will be presented according to them.
