When is resampling beneficial for feature selection with imbalanced wide data?

This paper studies the effects that combinations of balancing and feature selection techniques have on wide data (many more attributes than instances) when different classifiers are used. For this, an extensive study is done using 14 datasets, 3 balancing strategies, and 7 feature selection algorithms. The evaluation is carried out using 5 classification algorithms, analyzing the results for different percentages of selected features, and establishing the statistical significance using Bayesian tests.
