Abstract: Feature selection is the most important step to develop any latest learning model. As the complexity of the leaning models increases day by day there is an increasing demand, in selecting the right features to build the model. There are many methods for feature selection. A new feature selection based on the Manova statistical test is implemented. Using the Manova test, we select attributes from academic datasets. Using the selected attributes, we build a classification model. Accuracy of the model with feature selection is compared with a model with all attributes. Results are discussed. It is proved that the classification model build with features selected by Manova test achieves more accuracy than a model built with all features.
