Abstract: Feature selection is an importance step in classification phase and directly affects the classification performance. Feature selection algorithm explores the data to eliminate noisy, redundant, irrelevant data, and optimize the classification performance. This paper addresses a new subset feature selection performed by a new Social Spider Optimizer algorithm (SSOA) to find optimal regions of the complex search space through the interaction of individuals in the population. SSOA is a new natural meta-heuristic computation algorithm which mimics the behavior of cooperative social-spiders based on the biological laws of the cooperative colony. Different combinatorial set of feature extraction is obtained from different methods in order to keep and achieve optimal accuracy. Normalization function is applied to smooth features between [0,1] and decrease gap between features. SSOA based on feature selection and reduction compared with other methods over CT liver tumor dataset, the proposed approach proves better performance in both feature size reduction and classification accuracy. Improvements are observed consistently among 4 classification methods. A theoretical analysis that models the number of correctly classified data is proposed using Confusion Matrix, Precision, Recall, and Accuracy. The achieved accuracy is 99.27%, precision is 99.37%, and recall is 99.19%. The results show that, the mechanism of SSOA provides very good exploration, exploitation and local minima avoidance.
