This study includes a comparison between these algorithms and other nonevolutionary instance-selection algorithms. The results show that the evolutionary instance-selection algorithms consistently outperform the nonevolutionary ones, offering two main advantages simultaneously, better instance-reduction rates and higher classification accuracy.}, year = {2005}, pages = {127-152}, publisher = {Springer London}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-84628-183-9}, url = {https://doi.org/10.1007/1-84628-183-0_5}, doi = {10.1007/1-84628-183-0_5}, }
