Abstract:A novel embedded feature selection method based on improved ant colony optimization algorithm combined with the k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classifier is proposed to tackle the feature selection problem. A weighted sum of the k-NN classification accuracy and the selected feature dimension form the fitness function. The improved ant colony optimization algorithm provides good global searching capability and multiple sub-optimal solutions. A local refinement searching scheme is designed to exclude the redundant features and improves the convergence rate. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is first verified by a set of artificial test data and then applied to the power system security analysis problem. In the IEEE 10-unit-39-bus system, the proposed scheme obtains well-behaved security-related kernel features and provides good transient stability assessment performance.
