Abstract

Background: Ensemble selection is one of the most researched topics for ensemble learning. Researchers have been attracted to selecting a subset of base classifiers that may perform more helpful than the whole ensemble system classifiers. Dynamic Ensemble Selection (DES) is one of the most effective techniques in classification problems. DES systems select the most appropriate classifiers from the candidate classifier pool. Ensemble models that balance diversity and accuracy in the training process improve performance than the whole classifiers.

Objective: In this paper, novel techniques are proposed by combining Noise Filter (NF) and Dynamic Ensemble System (DES) to have better predictive accuracy. In other words, a noise filter and DES make the data cleaner and DES improves the performance of classification.

Methods: The proposed NF-DES model, which was demonstrated on twelve datasets, especially has three credit scoring datasets and a performance measure accuracy.

Results: The results show that our proposed model is better than other models.

Conclusion: The novel noise filer and dynamic ensemble learning with the aim to improve the classification ability are presented. To improve the performance of classification, noise filter with dynamic ensemble learning makes the noise data toward the correct class. Then, novel dynamic ensemble learning chooses the appropriate subset classifiers in the pool of base classifiers.

Keywords: Dynamic ensemble, noise filter, ensemble method, ensemble selection, classification, support vector machine.
