Abstract: Intrusion detection has drawn considerable interest as researchers endeavor to produce efficient models that offer high detection accuracy. Nevertheless, the challenge remains in developing reliable and efficient Intrusion Detection System (IDS) that is capable of handling large amounts of data, with trends evolving in real-time circumstances. The design of such a system relies on the detection methods used, particularly the feature selection techniques and machine learning algorithms used. Thus motivated, this paper presents a review on feature selection and ensemble techniques used in anomaly-based IDS research. Dimensionality reduction methods are reviewed, followed by the categorization of feature selection techniques to illustrate their effectiveness on training phase and detection. Selection of the most relevant features in data has been proven to increase the efficiency of detection in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency, hence its important role in the design of an anomaly-based IDS. We then analyze and discuss a variety of IDS-based machine learning techniques with various detection models (single classifier-based or ensemble-based), to illustrate their significance and success in the intrusion detection area. Besides supervised and unsupervised learning methods in machine learning, ensemble methods combine several base models to produce one optimal predictive model and improve accuracy performance of IDS. The review consequently focuses on ensemble techniques employed in anomaly-based IDS models and illustrates how their use improves the performance of the anomaly-based IDS models. Finally, the paper laments on open issues in the area and offers research trends to be considered by researchers in designing efficient anomaly-based IDSs.
