    Random ensemble feature selection for land cover mapping
    (IEEE, 2009) Gidudu, Anthony; Bolanle, Abe T.; Marwala, Tshilidzi
    Random ensemble feature selection is a means through which diversity in ensemble systems is imposed by randomly selecting the features (bands) that constitute the base classifiers. This paper provides insight and discusses the interplay between the size of the resulting ensembles and the consequent classification accuracy. From the results, it was observed that classification accuracy increased more as the number of features per base classifier increases than as the number of base classifiers increases. That said however, classification accuracy was seen to increase with additional features up to a given limit beyond which increasing the number of features per base classifier did not significantly increase classification accuracy, a peaking effect probably due to Hughes phenomenon.
