And also It had more gene expression data and fewer samples. To increase the classification accuracy and the processing speed of the model, an optimal number of features need to extract, this can be achieved by applying the feature selection method. In this paper, we propose a hybrid ensemble feature selection method. The proposed method has two phases, filter and wrapper phase in filter phase ensemble technique is used for aggregating the feature ranks of the Relief, minimum redundancy Maximum Relevance (mRMR), and Feature Correlation (FC) filter feature selection methods. This paper uses the Fuzzy Gaussian membership function ordering for aggregating the ranks. In wrapper phase, Improved Binary Particle Swarm Optimization (IBPSO) is used for selecting the optimal features, and the RBF Kernel-based Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier is used as an evaluator. The performance of the proposed model are compared with state of art feature selection methods using five benchmark datasets. For evaluation various performance metrics such as Accuracy, Recall, Precision, and F1-Score are used. Furthermore, the experimental results show that the performance of the proposed method outperforms the other feature selection methods.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/kes-190134","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,19]],"date-time":"2021-01-19T13:17:04Z","timestamp":1611062224000},"page":"289-301","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["A fuzzy gaussian rank aggregation ensemble feature selection method for microarray data"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"B.","family":"Venkatesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.","family":"Anuradha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","reference":[{"issue":"5","key":"10.3233\/KES-190134_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"971","DOI":"10.1109\/TCBB.2015.2478454","article-title":"Supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised feature selection: A review on gene selection","volume":"13","author":"Ang","year":"2016","journal-title":"IEEE\/ACM Transactions on Computational Biology and Bioinformatics"},{"key":"10.3233\/KES-190134_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"41","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biosystems.2018.12.009","article-title":"Gene expression cancer classification using modified K-nearest neighbors technique","volume":"176","author":"Ayyad","year":"2019","journal-title":"BioSystems"},{"key":"10.3233\/KES-190134_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"M.
