Feature selection is an effective technique in dealing with dimensionality reduction for classification task, a main component of data mining. It searches for an “optimal” subset of features. The search strategies under consideration are one of the three: complete, heuristic, and probabilistic. Existing algorithms adopt various measures to evaluate the goodness of feature subsets. This work focuses on one measure called consistency. We study its properties in comparison with other major measures and different ways of using this measure in search of feature subsets. We conduct an empirical study to examine the pros and cons of these different search methods using consistency. Through this extensive exercise, we aim to provide a comprehensive view of this measure and its relations with other measures and a guideline of the use of this measure with different search strategies facing a new application.
