Abstract: In this paper, we present and evaluate a novel method for feature selection for Multiclass Support Vector Machines (MSVM). It consists in determining the relevant features using an upper bound of generalization error proper to the multiclass case called the multiclass radius margin bound. A score derived from this bound will rank the variables in order of relevance, then, forward method will be used to select the optimal subset. The experiments are firstly conducted on simulated data to test the ability of the score to give the correct order of relevance of variables and the ability of the proposed method …to find the subset giving a better error rate than the case where all features are used. Afterward, four real datasets publicly available will be used and the results will be compared with those of other methods of variable selection by MSVM. Show more
