Title Enhancing the Quality of High Dimensional Noisy Data for
Classification and Regression Problems
Developed algorithms for simultaneous outlier detection and
feature selection for high dimensional noisy data
Reduced the average error rates for classification and
regression problems by 43.18% and 27.27% respectively
