Abstract
In view of the fact that some attacks have low detection rates in intrusion detection dataset, a two-level feature selection method based on minimal-redundancy-maximal-relevance (mRMR) and information gain (IG) was proposed. In this method, irrelevant and redundant features were filtered preliminarily to reduce data dimension by using mRMR algorithm, and highly correlated features to low detection rate attacks were obtained based on the calculation of information gain, and finally these features were integrated together to get final feature subset. The experimental results showed that the classification result of the feature subset filtered by this method had a better classification performance than the current filtering methods and improved the testing results of some attacks with low detection rates effectively.
