Feature Subset Selection for Improving the Performance of False Positive Reduction in Lung Nodule CAD.

Feature Subset Selection for Improving the Performance of False Positive Reduction in Lung Nodule CAD.

We propose a feature subset selection method based on genetic algorithms to improve the performance of false positive reduction in lung nodule computer-aided detection (CAD). It is coupled with a classifier based on support vector machines. The proposed approach determines automatically the optimal...
