Filters represent a class of feature selection methods used to select a subset of useful features from high dimensional data on the basis of relevance and redundancy analysis. Maximum relevance minimum redundancy (mRMR) is a famous feature selection algorithm for microarray data [1]. The quotient based version of maximum relevance minimum redundancy (Q-mRMR) filter [1],[2] selects, at each iteration, the feature scoring maximum ratio between its class relevance and average redundancy over already selected subset. This ratio can be surprisingly large if the denominator i.e. redundancy term is very small, hence suppressing the effect of relevance and leads to the selection of features which can be very weak representatives of the class. This paper addresses this issue by presenting a maximum relevance maximum antiredundancy (mRmA) filter method. For mRmA the value of objective function is within reasonable limits for all values of relevance and redundancy, hence, making selection of appropriate features more probable. Our 10 fold cross validation accuracy results using naive Bayes and support vector machines (SVM) classifiers confirm that the proposed method outperforms both Q-mRMR and Fast Correlation based Filter (FCBF) methods on six datasets from various applications like microarray, image and physical domains.
