DETECTION OF NETWORK INTRUSIONS USING MACHINE LEARNING ALGORITHMS AND FUZZY LOGIC

The study proposed a new method of constructing a set of important features for solving classification problems. This method is based on the idea of using an ensemble of estimators of the importance of features with summarization and the final result of the ensemble with the help of fuzzy logic algorithms. Statistical criteria (chi2, f_classif, correlation coefficient), mean decrease in impurity (MDI), mutual information criterion (mutual_info_classif) were used as estimators of the importance of features. Reducing the number of features on all data sets affects the accuracy of the assessment according to the criterion of the average reduction of classification errors. As long as the group of features in the data set for training contains the first features with the greatest influence, the accuracy of the model is at the initial level, but when at least one of the features with a large impact is excluded from the model, the accuracy of the model is noticeably reduced. The best classification results for all studied data sets were provided by classifiers based on trees or nearest neighbors: DesignTreeClassifier, ExtraTreeClassifier, KNeighborsClassifier. Due to the exclusion of non-
