Abstract: This paper proposes an ensemble of feature selection techniques with genetic algorithm (GA) in pipeline for selecting features from microarray data. The ensemble is a combination of filter and wrapper-based feature selection methods. In addition, GA in pipeline has been used for refinement of ensemble output to produce a non-local set of robust feature subset. An extensive computational experiment has been carried out on a prostate cancer dataset for validation of the method and comparison with group genetic algorithm (GGA). Finally, the resultant feature subsets of GA, GGA, and other constituents of the ensemble in standalone mode have been used for uncovering frequent patterns based on Apriori and FP-growth. The experimental study confirms that the proposed method gives classification accuracy of 100%, 98.34%, 98.02%, and 97% based on an ensemble of classifiers w. r. t. 5, 10, 15, and 20 features, respectively, vis-à-vis 92.34%, 90.34%, 86.54%, and 87.21% of GGA.
