Many of these methods are inspired by spill out behaviors in nature. In this Paper, a new optimization algorithm based on the law of gravity and mass interactions named as Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA) is discussed for solving feature selection. In GSA, the searcher agents are a collection of masses which will interact with each other based on the law of motion and Newtonian gravity which gives the binary evolutionary optimized high performance. The detailed feature selection has been discussed in this paper and The GSA method has been compared with some well-known optimized search methods such as GA (Genetic Algorithm), PSO(Particle Swarm Optimization).

proposed for classifying gene expression patterns. Since the data typically consist of a large number of redundant features, an initial redundancy reduction of the attributes is done to enable faster convergence. Rough set theory is employed to generate the distinction table that enable PSO to find reducts, which represent the minimal sets of non-redundant features capable of discerning between all objects. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated on three benchmark cancer datasets viz. Colon, Lymphoma and Leukemia using MOGA.
algorithm is proposed incorporating hamming distance as a distance measure between particles for feature selection problem from high dimensional microarray gene expression data. Hamming distance is used
as an similarity measurement for updating the velocities of each par-
ticles or solutions. It also helps to reduce extra parameter (i.e. Vmin)
as needed in conventional BPSO during velocity updation. An initial fast pre-processing heuristic method is used for crude domain reduction from high dimension. Then the tness function is suitably designed in multi objective framework for further reduction and soft tuning on the reduced features using BPSO. The performance of the proposed method
is tested on three benchmark cancerous datasets (i.e., colon, lymphoma and leukemia cancer). The comparative study is also performed on the existing literature to show the eectiveness of the proposed method.
