High dimensional data classification and feature selection using support vector machines

In many big-data systems, large amounts of information are recorded and stored for analytics purposes. Often however, this vast amount of information does not offer additional benefits for optimal decision making, but may rather be complicating and too costly for collection, storage, and processing....
