Feature Selection Based on Combination of Uncorrelated Evaluation Functions

In order to process large amount of data, it is necessary to use computers. It is possible to use statistical methods or machine learning in some cases. In either case, data can be represented with large number of features. Selection of suitable subset of features can be crucial for efficient processing. This thesis explores a subgroup of feature selection methods which are called filter methods. Comparison of such methods is carried out and the results are used in the design of a new method. This new method uses a combination of existing methods
