In binary classification, to improve the performance for unknown samples, excluding as many unnecessary features representing samples as possible is necessary. Of various methods of feature selection, the filter method calculates indices beforehand for each feature, and the wrapper method finds combinations of features having the maximum performance from all combinations of features. In this paper, we propose a novel feature selection method using distance from the classification boundary and a Monte Carlo simulation. Synthetic sample sets for binary classification were provided, and features determined by random numbers were added to each sample. For these sample sets, the conventional methods and the proposed method were applied, and it was examined whether the feature forming the boundary was selected. Our results demonstrate that feature selection was difficult with the conventional methods but possible with our proposed method.
