Feature Selection for Gender Classification in TUIK Life Satisfaction Survey
share
As known, attribute selection is a method that is used before the classification of data mining. In this study, a new data set has been created by using attributes expressing overall satisfaction in Turkey Statistical Institute (TSI) Life Satisfaction Survey dataset. Attributes are sorted by Ranking search method using attribute selection algorithms in a data mining application. These selected attributes were subjected to a classification test with Naive Bayes and Random Forest from machine learning algorithms. The feature selection algorithms are compared according to the number of attributes selected and the classification accuracy rates achievable with them. In this study, which is aimed at reducing the dataset volume, the best classification result comes up with 3 attributes selected by the Chi2 algorithm. The best classification rate was 73
